I am able to visit 127.0.0.1. When visiting localhost, it is not able to resolve.

Here is /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost # suppose to list all folder + files under /var/www, when visit localhost.

127.0.0.1       mymachine # aegir

127.0.0.1       languages.local #drupal 

127.0.0.1       languages.localhost #drupal

-- The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

  • Try to ping localhost and try to chmod etc/hosts to 644

Need to know what "visit" means, please - are you referring to typing http://localhost into the address bar in a browser? If so, which browser? Are you typing the http:// part in, or only typing localhost?

Also, please post output from the following:

ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 ; ping -c localhost ; host localhost

  • This is comment, not an answer. Someone with that much rep should know it already.

    @CelticWarrior, you just necro'd a five year old answer of mine to complain that "someone with that much rep should know better" than to have phrased it as an answer rather than a comment. Ahem.

  • Those are the perils of using the Android SE app before my morning espresso. The stupid app shows answers in a way that make no sense. This one appeared as being "new" and I didn't pay attention to the (very pale gray) date. Sorry.
