Hi,

your network configuration is wrong:

Found interface: inet . 
Alias is inet:0 ifconfig inet:0 192.168.155.1 up SIOCSIFADDR: 
No such device inet:0: unknown interface: 
No such device inet:0: unknown interface: No such device

the entry in /etc/hosts for n4sadm is probably pointing to the non existing device inet:0 ... (which should be eth0:0 or similar) ...

Hi Hannes,

Thank you for your help.

That was it. There was a false IP address entered In the /et/hosts for n4shost.

That was corrected. Now it starts.

Kind regards,

Hello,

I am having the same problem.... how do I modify the virtual host from 192.168.155.1 n4shost that doesn't exits. I tried to give 192.168.1.135 n4shost that is within the range in my DHCP but did not work.

how should I proceed.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Carlos Gonzalez
