Re: [monit] monit on freebsd

The hosts file on all my freebsd systems looks like this:

::1                      localhost
127.0.0.1            localhost

I just tried removing the first entry. After doing so I still cannot connect to the relevant port on 127.0.0.1. However, if I then stopped and restarted the ferret server I was then able to connect  to the relevant port on 127.0.0.1
 So it seems that if that ::1 entry is present in /etc/hosts the ferret server will somehow bind to that instead of 127.0.0.1 
 But before I permanently remove that ::1 entry I'll have to see if I can learn more about it to ensure that removing it doesn't cause any unwanted side effects. 

- cheers

I'm trying to monitor a ferret server on my freebsd 6.3 machine. It runs on port 9011 so I have a line like this as part of my monit configuration:

if failed port 9011 then alert

unfortunately monit always reports a failure.

Some facts:
- Monit is running on the the same machine as the ferret server
- from the command line of the server I can do the following:

address@hidden /var/tmp]# telnet localhost 9011
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.choopa.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

And as can be seen I get connected.


- However, if I try to connect via 127.0.0.1 instead of using localhost I get an error:

address@hidden /var/tmp]# telnet 127.0.0.1 9011
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Any ideas on how I can monitor this through monit? Looks like this might have something to do with ipv6?

- thanks
