Today i've restarted my ubuntu 11.04 server and now the 127.0.0.1 is not working anymore, it still loading for a while and then timeout.
I've tried to make a traceroute and this is the result
traceroute 127.0.0.1
traceroute to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

the strange thing is that if I try to connect from php to mysql using 127.0.0.1 it goes on timeout if I try with localhost it works.
I've also tried to telnet to memcached and it goes on timeout both with 127.0.0.1 and localhost
What could it be? I can't find any similar issue anywhere

sudo ifconfig
and see iflo0
interface is up and running. If not, trysudo ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1
.Have you heavily modified the network settings? If your Ubuntu truly is as ancient as 11.04, then
/etc/network/interfaces
might the file to check out, if my memory serves me right.Some strange iptables rules might also cause this kind of problems.
