And that is why you can't fix it. You don't understand it. With a little real information I (and I'm sure others on this list) see exactly what the issue was. I was close - I thought it was localhost not resolving. The answer is that your machine can't resolve its own name. "k5di" is not defined in /etc/hosts, and your DNS servers are public ones. What is your full hostname? k5di.xyz.com - what is the "xyz.com" part of your machine's name? 216.234.192.92 is ns1.zianet.com and 216.234.213.130 is ns2.zianet.com. They don't know anything about k5di. Change the line in /etc/hosts that looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost to this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost k5di k5di.xyz.com Obviously, cahnge xyz.com to your domain name. Once you do that I imagine your services will start in a timely manner. SELinux is not involved. Please, until you understand of what you speak, keep quiet. -- Thomas Cameron, RHCE, RHCI, CNE, MCSE, MCT Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
