Hi Jason, It's a shot in the dark, but have you tried specifying your IP in the z2.py file? It looks like http_server can't find your IP and is trying to look it up by hostname, which Python can't find: -----8<-- Start Snip --8<----- if not ip: self.log_info('Computing default hostname', 'warning') *** --> ip = socket.gethostbyname (socket.gethostname()) ----->8-- End Snip -->8----- *** is where it's failing. Even if specifying the IP works, it is probably a good idea to figure out why Python doesn't know about the new hostname. Eric.

I have set up Zope on a RedHat 7.1 distribution and had everything working terrifically until...

I changed the hostname of the machine from "foo" to "bar" ... now when it is as "bar", I get a z2 startup exception:

File /usr/local/Zope/z2.py, line 623, in ? File /usr/local/Zope/ZServer/HTTPServer.py, line 391, in __init__ File /usr/local/Zope/ZServer/medusa/http_server.py, line 550, in __init__

Error: host not found

Any ideas?

Jason
