host: parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed

dns, host, linux, nameservers, parsing

Solution

Check your syntax, you need to define one nameserver per line in `/etc/resolv.conf`

search dsitelecom.com
nameserver 8.8.8.8 
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Problem

I'm getting an error and I cannot see what happens, please see if you can catch what's wrong. Whenever I use the "host" command, I get this error: ``` xavi@cobalto:~$ host www.guparty.com host: parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed ``` I think the syntax is correct: ``` xavi@cobalto:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search dsitelecom.com nameserver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 ``` Also permissions are readable for everybody: ``` xavi@cobalto:~$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 2011-10-30 12:02 /etc/resolv.conf ``` Probably it is a silly thing but I cannot get it. Do you see anything wrong there? Thanks!
