Unable to Resolve Host IP


Every so often I get this error from the command line from ubuntu 12.04 LTS in the Amazon AWS cloud.


unable to resolve host ip-XX-X-XX-XXX







Get the machine name, run this command



      > hostname







I get ip-10-0-11-227
Update the /etc/hosts file



      >  sudo vi /etc/hosts

And add this line to the end of the file




127.0.0.1 ip-10-0-11-227

And save it












That should fix it.
