[zenoss-users] 127.0.0.1 sendto error Host localhost ... using same IP

[James Pulver]

You don't want both localhost AND the FQDN of the server. You want just

event manager and clear heartbeats.

All seems OK with the OS and Zenoss is running OK, but I'm trying to follow the first few steps in the Quick Start guide and not much is working. I know I have to read the 200+ page manual, but if we could fix a couple of annoyances I will feel much better.
