Safari ignoring hosts file
OK. I am about to go insane, so I figured I'd come here for help.
I've been attempting to add some entries to my hosts file. After much searching, I finally figured out how to do it. (With tabs and Unix line endings and all!) When I ping or use traceroute, it uses my new hosts file entries. When I use Camino, it uses my new hosts file entries. However, Safari 4 seems to be totally ignoring them.
I've seen a couple of suggestions, but either they didn't work, or they weren't designed for Leopard. I've tried doing sudo dscacheutil -flushcache in the Terminal, and it's still broken. Any ideas?

Safari 4 is beta. Did Safari 3 read the hosts file? Mine does.

i cannot get safari to recognize my hosts file
firefox behaves correctly. using a ping or traceroute command in terminal also works correctly, so my hosts file IS working.
i have posted this in another forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2435821&tstart=0I use a proxy server at work and once the system is set to use it all browsers are forced to go via the proxy server and ignore hosts. How do you explain this with your model?
That's easy. There are at least two ways I can think of off-hand of doing this.
Of the common Mac browsers, Safari and Chrome both honor the system settings. Firefox opts to use its own settings (I have no experience of Opera to know what it does). Either way, these settings can be pushed out from a central directory server, so the network admin just needs to configure the system network preferences (for most apps) or Firefox preferences (for Firefox) and you're using the proxy without doing any work on your own.
The other option is that you're using a transparent proxy - that is all requests are silently passed through a proxy server without any configuration changes (or even awareness) on the client side. A lot of ISPs use this kind of setup to cache content to improve performance for their users.
Either way, setup of the proxy is entirely manageable by the network admin.
In this case, though, Firefox and Safari act differently therefore there HAS to be some application-level difference. If they were using the same network setup they would experience the same problem. -
I'm having a strange problem with the hosts file
I've edited my hosts file so I can work with a local machine for testing.
The entry in the hosts file is honoured for about 30 seconds or for as long as I ping it.
As soon as I stop pinging it, it reverts to the DNS entry and ignores etc/hosts
If I then touch hosts, it wil honour the entry again for 30 odd seconds.
Any ideas?When it reverts to the DNS entry, I'm not 100% sure DirectoryService is making a request out to our DNS servers or if it's cached somewhere, but it's certainly not using what's in hosts.
Wow, this is odd. WRT DirectoryService making requests, you can use the "dscacheutil" command to look at syscall stats. This utility will track cache hits, cache misses and external calls for each standard system call it monitors. So, you care about gethostbyname(), so by periodically running dscacheutil, then doing name lookups (i.e. with ping or whatever), you can see where the system is getting the data. You'd want to run something like this:
dscacheutil -statistics | grep gethostbyname -
Mac osx 10.7.5 /etc/hosts file being ignored
Hi guys, i am a web developer and use my macbook pro for work, recently i upgraded my OSX to 10.7.5 and all **** broke loose. i use ubuntu server to on virtual box to host my webserver and now it seems like my hosts file is not being read because i cant ssh into my server anymore.
i googled around and discovered this was actually intentional by apple( i wonder why?) and have tried several solutions. one of them actually worked last week, where i had to go systempreference/network/advanced and added 127.0.0.1 to the top of the list, copied /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolve.dnsmasq.conf and loaded dnsmasq.
this worked for the last couple of days. today i restarted my macbookpro and im back to the same problem only this time a lot worse cause the past solution does not seem to wrk anymore and all solutions i have found on google dont seem to help anymore
Please help, i need to do soem work.
thanks...Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC). -
[SOLVED]Is my hosts file functioning as it should?
I'm using this script to update my hosts file with ad blocking settings.
#!/bin/bash
# Hosts file updater
HFSERVER="http://hostsfile.mine.nu.nyud.net"
HFILE="hosts.zip"
ORIGFILE="/etc/hosts.original"
clear
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "This script will update your Hosts file to the latest version"
echo "Your original Hosts file will be renamed to $ORIGFILE"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
echo ""
if [ ! -f "$ORIGFILE" ] ; then
echo "Backing up your previous hosts file.."
cp -v /etc/hosts $ORIGFILE # I like verbose file operations. Can be less verbose if necessary.
fi
echo "Retrieving $HFILE from $HFSERVER"
echo ""
wget -O /tmp/$HFILE $HFSERVER/$HFILE
unzip -p /tmp/$HFILE | dos2unix > /tmp/hosts
if [ 'grep -c "banner" /tmp/hosts' ];then
echo "Downloaded and unpacked $HFILE OK"
echo "Appending host list to original content" # which was probably there for a reason, like to make sure localhost worked, and possibly even more stuff if part of a corporate LAN
#cp -f -u /tmp/hosts /etc/hosts
cat $ORIGFILE >/etc/hosts
echo "" >>/etc/hosts # to make sure the original file ends in a new-line so that 2 entries don't end up on the same line, either causing unexpected behavior or not working at all
cat /tmp/hosts >>/etc/hosts
rm -fv /tmp/hosts* # again, I like verbose file operations. I like to know what my system is doing.
echo "Update process complete"
#echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "As a side-effect of this script, any changes you wish to make"
echo "persistent in the hosts file should be made to $ORIGFILE"
echo "because /etc/hosts will be respawned from that file and the "
echo "newlist from the server each time this script runs."
exit
else
echo "Update failed"
fi

127.0.0.1 virtumundo.com
# etc...
The thing i'm unsure of is this section:
# You must keep the below lines
127.0.0.1 localhost
Since localhost is already stated here:
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost pote
For now I've deleted the redundant localhost entry, since it seems to be there for windows compatability.
Is there any harm in leaving that entry?
Last edited by verve (2008-11-29 04:08:29)Not as far as I know.
It probably just re-encounters the localhost hostname and either dumbly re-adds it to the internal table or ignores it. In any case, no logically discernible harm done.

Update hosts file and Change proxy settings for all users on Mac
I am in a large environment with many Mac users. We have a Windows based proxy server that we are switching over within a few weeks. So far we are manually having to go to each Mac and change the proxy settings under the users account. This is a very long and painstaking process as users are on vacation etc. and our cutoff date is fast approaching for the old proxy.
we also are having to log into each workstation as administrator go into the terminal and so sudo passwd root then change the password then do sudo vi /etc/hosts to edit the hosts file.
Is there a way to change the proxy server setting for safari and firefox globally without having to log in as each user on the Mac ?
Or is there an automated way through a script that the users can run ?
These macs authenticate to active directory. They do not have a mac server but I was told to post this question here versus the desktop area.Most browsers include an [automatic proxy configuration (PAC) mechanism|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config] and the transparent configuration of proxies, and Safari and Firefox are no different here.
The usual approach here is to have folks visit a site and select the PAC file, or to push the file out. Here is a comfiguration example from [UConn|http://helpdesk.uconn.edu/trouble/proxy/autoprox.html], and another from [Rice|http://proxy.rice.edu/setup.php], and there are others around and visible via Google.
The [pactester|http://code.google.com/p/pactester> tool might be useful, too.
If y'all get some DNS entries set up (various web browsers have [Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebProxy_AutodiscoveryProtocol], when last I checked [Safari needed a little help|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090711031033128]) and have your firewall raise an appropriate diagnostic page, you won't have to go through this again, either.
None of this stuff is particularly specific to Mac OS X or to Safari; the PAC stuff is fairly generic, and WPAD is used with various boxes. (Try Safari with WPAD, but you might still need to reference that PAC file. And if you do, using WPAD-compliant naming would probably be a reasonable approach.)
The hosts files? You're really still using those? Any chance you can get real DNS working? That's a whole lot less work, and now is the time to deploy that; if you're going to mess with everything, then you can use that effort and that requirement to (also) move forward in your networking capabilities. -
New Plesk Server - Require host file entries
New plesk server being set up and I was told that it "requires host file entries" and to go ahead and set that up. I am at a loss... never been asked to do this before when moving websites to new server. Any help is more than appreciated!!
I agree with you, but apparently that is not the case. Something to do with:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts You can open, edit and save this file with notepad. Create a shortcut on your desktop for easy editing. Don't forget to either comment out the entry or remove it when you want to go to the real site. You should also clear your browser cache each time. You comment out the line by using the "#" sign in front.
This is what the web server administrator sent to me. I was so confused by this, and did not want to seem stupid going back to this person. But I think that is what I will have to do. I will just have to be human and plead my ignorance.
Thanks for your thoughts... they are exactly what I thought they should do. -
i changed my hostfile and now i cant seem to access itunes properly. How do i restore my host file?
Use the free Text Wrangler to Open File by Name:
/private/etc/hosts
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
Select below and copy, select all in your /private/etc/hosts and paste, save with the admin password. Reboot.
Next time, make a copy of the file before messing with it.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Extra note:
If your attempting to block domains using the hosts file, you need to keep the new entries BELOW what you see above and use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 like what is used on Windows (127.0.0.1 causes issues in OS X)
so for instance to block Facebook.com
0.0.0.0 www.facebook.com

I want to change the way Safari opens a file type.
Is there a forum for Windows users of Safari?
I am using Windows 7 and just downloaded Safari 5.1.7
I want to change the way Safari opens a file type. Specifically the AVI file type. I would like Safari to cause VLC Player to launch, outside of Safari, and play the AVI file. I don't find that Safari provides me with a method to change how Safari will open a file. Presently Safari will do nothing when I pull down the file menu, select "open", and then select an AVI file from a disk folder. I have Opera, Firefox and IE launching VLC,,,, but not Safari.Yes, the Safari for Windows forum is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari?view=discussions#/?tagSet= 1041
I have asked the Hosts to move your post to that forum. -
What's the equivalent to a host file for iPad 3?
Yesterday, I noticed that I couldn't browse to any pages or web apps on my own local web server with my new iPad and Safari. Also, when I looked at web mashups on my rented webserver that used some resources on the web and some from my local web server, the resources from my local web server didn't show up.
Then late in the day, I remembered that I had fixed this problem before on my office PCs. Back last year, I abandoned a rented T1 line between my office and headquarters beacuse of cost and reliability, and got my office internet provider switched over to Charter. To connect back to the office to share files, and remote login to servers, I set up a VPN. Headquarters IT wanted to route all my traffic to inside their IronGate, then route my internet traffic out. But Headquarters IT couldn't figure out how to pass DNS back out of their firewall so it wasn't working. I told HQ IT let's set up the VPN so just traffic heading into headquarters is directed through the VPN, and the internet traffic from my office could be just be handled by Charter. Since they couldn't make it work any other way, they had to agree. I just had to add one line in the host file of each PC that needs browser access to our web server that resolves the host name of our local web server to an IP address that is valid inside our NAD LAN.
However, I don't know yet how to add this name resolution to the iPad. The problem though is that I'll have to reverse this host name resolution when I'm out of our LAN, because accessing our web server by host name works perfectly when I'm on a differnt WI-Fi network or if I turn Wi-Fi off.There isn't one.
-
I added an entry to the /etc/hosts file, setting a domain to 127.0.0.1 in order to block a domain. However the edit did not seem to have an effect.
What gives?
os = Tiger
Safari is bombing my console log with:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URLNot sure how verbose Safari is, you might try looking at the Activity window to see if you get the JavaScript errors in there also.
To change the lookup order (see http://www.macwrite.com/criticalmass/mac-os-x-hosts-regrouped-pf.php - this is an older article, but still works for Tiger):
[1] From the Terminal, check the current configuration
lookupd -configuration
[2] If the 'Host Configuration' does not have DNS following FF and NI, then change the configuration file:
cd /etc
sudo mkdir lookupd (make a new /etc/lookupd/ if it doesn't already exist))
cd lookupd
ls (check for files, just in case the directory already existed)
cp hosts hosts.original (save the original, if needed)
sudo echo LookupOrder Cache NI FF DNS DS > hosts (make a new host configuration lookup order)
[3] Restart for any changes to take effect -
Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.
Clean install. Administrator account. Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run". This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect.
Any ideas?Hi,
As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
worked.<o:p></o:p>
For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
Login to an administrator account.
In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
Click on the tab called view.
Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
Click on Apply and then OK.
Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
“Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
I have provided)
There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
file type as ‘Text Document.’
Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
file as “hostold” and hit enter.
Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
“Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
few minutes on this.
Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask. -
Event ID 1012 - There was an error while attempting to read the local hosts file
When I start my Computer after it has been turned off overnight (switched off at the Power supply) I get a Blue screen and have to reboot the PC. in the Event log it has this error: Event ID 1012 - DNS client events - There was an error while attempting
to read the local hosts file.
Once the PC has booted evrything is O.K. I can restart the PC with no problems, it only seems to happen if the PC has been switched off for a while.

Thank you
jeepers01
After further Investigation it seems that this error is Not responsible for my Blue screening......I started my PC after leaving it off all night, and it started normally, but i still have this error in the Event Log - System.....I have searched the Technet
forums (and there is a lot of ID 1012 errors) but non relating to my problem....If anyone knows what is causing this error and how to fix it, i'd be Grateful....although it does not seem to affect the PC in any way that i can see.
thanks
jeepers01Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case
some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that
a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
Microsoft - Help and Support
If you are outside the US please see
Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.
Meantime we can try some available steps as a general troubleshoot.
1. Please remove the antivirus and run the system with a period. If the issue does not occur, mainly focus on antivirus settings and compatibility.
2. Disable Automatic Restart and see detail information on the blue screen.
1).Click Start, in the Start Search box enter sysdm.cpl.
2).Click the tab Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
3). Uncheck “Automatically restart”.
4). On the drop-down menu “Write debugging information”, choose “Small memory dump”.
5). Click OK.
When Blue Screen displays, you may find some useful information.

host1.webserver.local
host2.webserver.local
host3.webserver.local
Problem is, users on the network can see webserver.local just fine, but the subdomains need to be registered with hosts file on each computer.
Is there a way I can manage all computers hosts file easily? I was thinking of an SVN repository, but this still requires going to each computer to update the file.
Any suggestions here would be great.
Thanks
