Troubleshooting - Cluster startup Failure

Tuesday Oct 30, 2007

Recently i had this problem.. I setup a cluster with an instance. But was not able to start it up. 

I got a series of  java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused exceptions and the instance did not startup.

What did the wonder?

 The /etc/hosts file had the following entries:

127.0.0.1 mymachine mymachine localhost

 When i commented out this line in the hosts file and add a physical IP entry like

129.xxx.xxx.xx mymachine

 and startup the instance, it goes through fine :)

 Reason

MQ needs the hostname to map to the absolute IP and not 127.0.0.1.

Have you filed a bug or an RFE? :)

So if other applications on the machine are set up such that the hostname MUST be mapped to 127.0.0.1 - what is the magic required to make Glassfish start using the address of one of the other network addresses on the machine?
