Change the Linux host file mappings

On UNIX and Linux based systems, settings in the /etc/host file map hostnames to IP addresses. Linux maps the host machine’s hostname to 127.0.0.1 by default. If you are installing on Linux, you must remove this setting from all of the servers running Sybase RAP components. This change allows the JINI server to locate remote components on the various machines in the network.

Example

On a Linux system called MyComputer, change the host and domain name entry in the /etc/hosts file that looks like this:

127.0.0.1        MyComputer MyComputer.mydomain.com localhost 

To this:

127.0.0.1        localhost
