its looking like an old firefox bug: Pale Mone ignores my hosts.
ping and shell are using the host file.
my file:
Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 localhost

It sounds like they've got something set in their hosts file (like a DNS override—I'm not sure of the correct terminology), but they can't access it because Pale Moon doesn't recognize it as an address and thinks it's a search query.John connor wrote:I don't understand what you are saying.

In that case it could be that the website doesn't answer to that direct IP. I don't know.SpockMan02 wrote:It sounds like they've got something set in their hosts file (like a DNS override—I'm not sure of the correct terminology), but they can't access it because Pale Moon doesn't recognize it as an address and thinks it's a search query.John connor wrote:I don't understand what you are saying.

I run a local webserver at 127.0.0.1/80 and want to call it with localhost or some other names. So ive put the line in the hosts file.John connor wrote: My thought is that he's added a line in hosts to redirect to a website and that the IP doesn't resolve to that link directly. That's it!
Thats it! I did the first, and now the second thing. After that, boths is working. Thank youNew Tobin Paradigm wrote:so are you typing just 'localhost' in the location bar or 'http://localhost/' ?
This is a very odd CIDR.127.0.0.1/80

Although we will not be policing your use of language, since everyone here is assumed to be of an adult and tolerant mindset, and using swear words here and there is just fine, we will take action if your use of such language is excessive, uncalled-for, or otherwise considered by staff to not be suited for general public digestion.
