Errors Ignored When IP Address Return for Host System Fails

FairCom Server is able to ignore some errors getting the IP addresses for the host system when it starts. Sometimes FairCom Server failed to start with error 891 (most commonly seen on Unix systems). The following message was logged to CTSTATUS.FCS:


- User# 00001 Failed to get IP address for host 'hostname': gethostbyname() returned error code 1

This error occurred when the system’s host name (as shown by the hostname or uname -a commands) was not present in the /etc/hosts file and could not be resolved by DNS.

FairCom Server now ignores this error except in situations that require getting the IP addresses for the host system (when using the “local connections only” and “node-based licensing” options).
