Linux and UnknownHostException for a java program

Question

On suse 32bits, i try to run a java application, i get this error

java.net.UnknownHostException: linux-7w1q.site: linux-7w1q.site: Name or service not known

i checked my /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1       localhost linux-7w1q
# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

but it's seem ok

It doesn't look ok to me. It looks for linux-7w1q.site , you only have an entry for linux-7w1q. You should check the app as to why it's requesting linux-7w1q.site. — nos

i added: 172.18.1.125 linux-7w1q.site localhost to my hosts file, now i can ping both without problem — redfox26

The error message shows you're looking for linux-7w1q.site, but your /etc/hosts alias is linux-7w1q

Which is exactly what one would expect, since linux-7w1q is defined in your configuration, and linux-7w1q.site is not
