Be sure that hostname is defined as a fully-qualified domain name, and
that your DNS can resolve the correct internal IP address, and that
this IP is the one used in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env. If not, then you
can force the correct internal IP with an entry to /etc/hosts. Check
IP address found with nslookup and ifconfig as well.
please provide a sample of forcing the correct entry into /etc/hosts
... it is still hanging.. looking at me.. and mocking me! lol :)
