7.4. Host Not Found/Could Not Determine FQDN

Because RHN configuration files rely exclusively on fully qualified domain names (FQDN), it is imperative key applications are able to resolve the name of the RHN Satellite into an IP address. Red Hat Update Agent, Red Hat Network Registration Client, and the Apache Web server are particularly prone to this problem with the RHN applications issuing errors of "host not found" and the Web server stating "Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name" upon failing to start.
This problem typically originates from the /etc/hosts file. You may confirm this by examining /etc/nsswitch.conf, which defines the methods and the order by which domain names are resolved. Usually, the /etc/hosts file is checked first, followed by Network Information Service (NIS) if used, followed by DNS. One of these has to succeed for the Apache Web server to start and the RHN client applications to work.
To resolve this problem, identify the contents of the /etc/hosts file. It may look like this: 
127.0.0.1 this_machine.example.com this_machine localhost.localdomain \ localhost
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
First, in a text editor, remove the offending machine information, like so: 
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.com localhost
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Then, save the file and attempt to re-run the RHN client applications or the Apache Web server. If they still fail, explicitly identify the IP address of the Satellite in the file, such as: 
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.com localhost
123.45.67.8 this_machine.example.com this_machine
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Replace the value here with the actual IP address of the Satellite. This should resolve the problem. Keep in mind, if the specific IP address is stipulated, the file will need to be updated when the machine obtains a new address.
