SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known) - Sunspot/Solr Rails development

Question

I have had lots of trouble with deploying my rails 3.0.10 application to Ubuntu 10.04 server with Passenger, Capistrano, nginx and MySQL (and even more trouble with apache2)

Answer 1

I had a similar issue, which I worked around by editing the /etc/resolv.conf

before

nameserver 10.0.x.x
search example.com

after

#nameserver 10.0.x.x
nameserver 8.8.8.8
#search example.com
