Ok ive setup a test server at home. Centos 4 installed minimal config.

SSH to the box works, and connection to outside ips work, but I cant wget the interworx installer.

[root@dev ~]# wget http://updates.interworx.com/iworx/scripts/iworx-cp-install.sh
–02:54:42-- http://updates.interworx.com/iworx/scripts/iworx-cp-install.sh
=> `iworx-cp-install.sh.1’
Resolving updates.interworx.com… failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.

I tried on another server and it worked fine. What am I missing?

thanks!

I figured it out. /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver was 127.0.0.1, I changed it to my gateway ip.

My guess is that you didn’t have a dns server installed on your box and then yes you would need an external resolver.

For normal opperation resolv.conf should read

[root@iworx ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
[root@iworx ~]#

Once you get Iworx installed and running you should switch back to this and restart the ntpd service
