Yes, that is typical, a FQDN and then the shortname (which is an alias).
I did not get to try swapping those around to see what impact it would have. The Dev People were circling like vultures and pounced the moment the site became functional. If i get a moment, I will retry on a sandbox system to see if the combination of AIX/PHP/WP/MariabDB has a sensitivity to the order in /etc/hosts
I am wondering if it is because “localhost” is an alias in /etc/hosts, not the first entry on the line.
May have to look at that before the developers get on the system
Good Morning
A very good ask.
I had localhost.
It was significantly more happy with 127.0.0.1
