  • Temporary Failure in Name Resolution

    Posted on

    I'm attempting to install IdM on a RHEL7.1 server. The server itself is about 60% DISA STIG compliant. The log gives me this final error output:

      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/installutils.py", line 458, in resolve_ip_addresses_nss
        socket.AF_UNSPEC, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    2016-12-30T13:27:38Z DEBUG The ipa-server-install command failed, exception: gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
    2016-12-30T13:27:38Z ERROR [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
    

    I'm trying to check all of my places before I troubleshoot outside influences. Any suggestions on what could be causing this problem? Everything else in the log file doesn't have any errors. This error happens when the script is running

    2016-12-30T13:27:38Z DEBUG   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipapython/admintool.py", line 171, in execute
        return_value = self.run()
    

    Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
