How to Edit etc/hosts File

(For SoftNAS 5.6 and lower) remove entry for IP address from /etc/hosts

EXAMPLE: Edit hosts and delete highlighted entries as noted below:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Edit your /etc/hosts file and comment out (or remove) the entry for 52.86.152.91 mirror.softnas.com pypi.softnas.com and 54.88.117.35 http://softnas.com http://www.softnas.com

Example: Use your preferred text editor such as vi or nano. You will need to become root or use sudo in order to save changes to this file:

sudo vi /etc/hosts

delete or comment out with “#” at the front of the line:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Save file
