Java CAPS tip on Open Solaris

I recently installed Java CAPS on Open Solaris 10. I observed that I could not access repository from browser.

I tried to look at the following in the process of debugging:

• install.info in the repository directory
• tried to access localhost:12000
• 127.0.0.1:12000
• <hostname>:12000
• <ipaddress>:12000

but all went in vain.

After a while of debugging I found that I installed punchin which erased the /etc/hosts file entries while installing the punchin client. After the entries are restored manually I could access the repository !

Hope this helps somebody who is having a similar issue.
