Terracotta Remote Connection

If you have problem connecting to remote Terracotta servers running on Linux, check /etc/hosts file on the server. Make sure it has the ipadress and FQDN/hostname specified.

Sample hosts file
171.67.89.212 hostname.domain.com hostname
127.0.0.1 hostname.domain.com hostname localhost.

Terrocotta does a host lookup when JMX/RMI remote connections are requested. It is important your hosts file return correct address. If the loopback address is listed on the first line, the remote connection will not work properly.
