Re: Can't debug on OS X

Probably been mentioned before, but I have to ask.

It seems to me like incorrect setting of your computer name. NetBeans thinks

that the name is 'Zac', but according to the later messages gethostbyname() for

'Zac' failed. Before debugging in NetBeans make sure that

/sbin/ping Zac

works correctly.

Hope it helps.

Bye,

Just hit this problem this weekend. Zac like myself probably set his

hostname down in /etc/hostconfig, then like normal OS X, put and entry into

NetInfo and hardcoded an IP address for his computer. Now take that computer

off the network, I am on vacation at the moment, and try to debug. The

debugger trys to reach 10.0.1.205 but cant because there is not router

available so it fails with a no route to host. Temporarily I changed the

netinfo entry for my hostname from 10.0.1.205 to 127.0.0.1 and now the

debugger worked. Zac, maybe you are having the same problem.
