Tech Notes
GeNet works properly when I access it from the computer it is running on, but not from any other computer.
This problem sometimes occurs on Unix systems when the /etc/hosts file is configured incorrectly. On newly configured machines, this file will sometimes contain the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost myMachine
where myMachine is the name of your server. This tells the computer to use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as its IP address. This address will then be used in all of the hyperlinks which GeNet generates. This works when accessing GeNet from the server, but not when accessing it from any other computer.
To fix this problem, replace the above line with the following two lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
1.1.1.1 myMachine
where you should substitute the server's true IP address for 1.1.1.1, and its true name for myMachine. You may need to reboot the server before this change will take effect.
