Configure DNS Domain Name when install portal server
I'm installing Application Platform Suite on Solaris 10 and met the problem in "Specify Common Server Settings" step.
How to fill the "DNS Domain Name" setting?
I have tried to use the name of DNS server, but it doesn't work, and show the following error message:
Valid DNS Domain Name Required.
The DNS Domain name Provided could not be validated.
The services being installed require a valid internet domain name.
Installation cannot proceed until a valid DNS Domain Name is provided.
Do I need to install a DNS server on that machine? It's in an intranet.

hi,
I've done it today and the way I solve this point is to set the DNS up on the same host.
Just write a simple /etc/named.conf like tis
options {
directory "/var/named";
// Uncommenting this might help if you have to go through a
// firewall and things are not working out. But you probably
// need to talk to your firewall admin.
// query-source port 53;
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc_key; };
};
key "rndc_key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "c3Ryb25nIGVub3VnaCBmb3IgYSBtYW4gYnV0IG1hZGUgZm9yIGEgd29tYW4K";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.hints";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "zones/127.0.0";
};
//###########################################################################
//# reverse lookup 192.168.1.
//###########################################################################
zone "20.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "zones/192.168.20";
};
//###########################################################################
//# host for testing portal server
//###########################################################################
zone "baseptl.com" {
type master;
notify no;
file "zones/baseptl.com";
};
zone "portal1.intra" {
type master;
notify no;
file "zones/portal1.intra";
};
zone "portal2.intra" {
type master;
notify no;
file "zones/portal2.intra";
};
ant the /var/named/zones file like the following one
;
;
$TTL 3D
@INSOAdns1.lighthousetc.lite. root.baseptl.com. (
200507141; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ); minimum, seconds
;
NS 192.168.1.31
;
brunelloA192.168.20.5
;
and
;
$TTL 3D
@INSOAdns1.lighthousetc.lite. root.portal1.intra. (
200507141; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ); minimum, seconds
NS 192.168.20.5
;
;
www A192.168.20.5
;
This way let you install PS 7 and also have more than one host (webserver vhost) resolved to create/deply more than one portal.
remember to svcadm enable dns/server to run the named on your host.

Thanks for reply.
I configured the DNS name and tried to reinstall it.
This time, it pops up with another error message in the same step:
Valid Host IP address Required.
The Host IP address Provided could not be validated.
The services being installed require a valid Host IP address.
Installation cannot proceed until a valid Host IP address is provided.
Where is the default Host IP Address from? How can the installation program read the Host IP Address from the system, and says it's invalid? If it's invalid, how can I validate the Host IP Address without the installation program?
I tried to ping this IP address, and it's alive.
