Error message unable to qualify my own domain name

Hello
I have two systems at a remote location. The user reports they see the following error message sometime after the login screen is displayed.
"Unable to qualify my own domain name(prec7b12)--using short name"
Unfortunately we lost our admin so I am trying to fill in and my Solaris experience is more advanced user than admin. If you could point me in the right direction on this I would appreciate it.
Best Regards
Robert

Put the domain name in the /etc/defaultdomain and add the fully qualified domain name as an alias in the /etc/hosts file
ex.
/etc/hosts
1.1.1.1 <hostname> <hostname.domain_name.com>
also add the domain to the first line of the /etc/resolv.conf file.
ex.
/etc/resolv.conf
domain <domain_name.com>
[nameserver <IP of DNS Servers>]
[] means it is optional
The above is the correct way to set it up. Now the quick and dirty ways to fix the problem.
Option 1. Ignore it, it is only need if you are doing internet e-mail from the local box.
Option 2. Put the full qualified domain name in the /etc/hostname.hme0 file. Depending on your computer the hme0 may be different.
Option 3. edit the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
Search for Dj just above it you should see the following.
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Add the following line below it.
Dj<hostname.domain_name.com>
I have found that the $w does not always give you the desired results so just use you fully qualified domain name.

    please do the following in your /etc/hosts file
    find the line containing the hostname,
    and add your hostname again with a dot as a last char

  • Solaris8 : unable to qualify my own domain

    This message appears sometimes , is there a patch to bearing to this messages or did you know a workarround ?
    Tks a lot .
    Best Rgards

    Sendmail is looking for a fully qualified hostname,
    i.e. a hostname with dots plus a domainname.
    You often get that error message on a standalone system
    (without DNS), when your hostname does not include
    a domainname.
    Fix: In /etc/hosts, just add an alias for you
    host with a domainname. Change something like
         10.0.0.1     host
    to
         10.0.0.1     host.domain.name host

  • Error message "unable to sync, a duplicate file name was specified"

    Hi All,
    I`m getting the above message when I try to sync my music library.
    I have updated to IOS 5.  I had been receiving this message before the update, but I ignored it, because the library was syncing.  However after the update my ipod just displays "no content" where my music should be.  I am also unable to sync music purchased after the update.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? 

    Try and unchecking Manually manage music and videos on the summary page in iTunes. To get there, just go to ____'s iPod, scroll down, and it should be there. You can then check any other boxes (or uncheck) that you think might help you. That box might have automatically checked itself after the update. Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes by going to the apple in the top left hand corner, and clicking software update.

    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.

  • Error Message: Unable to get document: HTTP-1

    We run tools 8.44 and Enterprise Portal 8.8. There are some paglets created on the Portal as well including a payadvice pagelet for the users to look up their pay information. Pay information comes from the HCM DB. What we notice from time to time is that when logging in to the Portal, the pay advice pagelet will not display and gives "Error getting Content".
    I check the app and web logs and they come back with "Failed to load URL: http://server1.domain.ca/psc/environment/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/s/WEBLIB_EO_PE_LN.ISCRIPT2.FieldFormula.IScript_EPP_NAV_PAGELET in the Portal registry.

  • Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

    I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web.  Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
    Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
    Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....???  My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
    If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Karen

    Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain.  Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech.  They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....  
    Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method. 
    I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
    Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered. 
    I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text.  The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price.  The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

  • Error message "Unable to load plug-in type"

    Hi I used plugin registration tool and updated an existing plugin by a new dll.. and then afer that I started recieveing error messages on the CRM on our Dev environment. Error message "Unable to load plug-in type" it was registered for contact entity for
    post create and update but we are getting this error on any entity updates and creates..
    Any help on how to resolve this issue with be deeply appreciated.
    thanks in advance,

    While this thread is 3 years old, yet I just encountered the same problem about half an hour ago, and I believe this is a bug within CRM Solution Import routine.
    What I had was a plugin which was imported previously. Then, I added new plugin steps and got 'Unable to load plugin type' when registering the new plugin steps I added.
    The solution I have is:
    a. Import just the plugin assembly without the new plugin steps, and publish.
    b. The plugin assembly is now updated with the new plugin class definition. Then add the new plugin steps and import the solution again.
    c. The solution should now be imported successfully.
    What I believe the bug is CRM Solution Import routine checks for the plugin class/type definition in the existing plugin assembly in the server rather than the new plugin assembly in the solution being imported.
    By the way, all solutions are unmanaged. Perhaps, the same bug will not happen in Managed solution.
    HTH anyone else experiencing the same issue.

    hope its a mandatory feature as laptop and mobile interface are simple task nowadays in mobile...
    pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

    You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

  • ERROR Message "UNABLE TO OPEN" and "E_IO_Cannot_Open"

    Trying to download 6 ebooks from Hive and I can download the acsm file but when I click that I get an error message "Unable To Open" and "E_IO_Cannot Open." The computer is authorised and uses Win 7 with ADE 3.  I tried ADE 4 but no better.  I have an older PC using Vista and ADE 2 and that will download okay but it is constantly being used so it is not convenient.  Does anybody know what's wrong?  Thanks.

    Hello,
    To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
    - the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
    - usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
    - could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
    - have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
    If no, download it and use it to attach
    in the object explorer,
    click on your instance to expand it
    right click on databases
    in the contextual menu, click on attach
    in the new form,click on add
    you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
    it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
    the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
    Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
    NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
    We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
    Have a nice day

  • HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

    I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
    Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

    I have confused myself with the facts!  Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here.  First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question.  Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option.  Then powered down the computerator.
    Next started up computerator.  Turned Time Machine ON  and experienced multiple successful backups!  Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far).  Had a few more successes.  After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK.  This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
    Put computer to sleep for the night.  Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD!   Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
    Did a few    Sleep-bad, Restart -OK    repetitions.
    It seems consistent:  Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
    =============================
    Now then, I don't understand everything I know here.  Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier).  Is there any truth in this?
    I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible.  What's out there that we know works reliably for us?
