Had the same problem yesterday. The answer was simple: the system was not able to resolve it's own hostname XY via DNS (understandable). After putting it into /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localname XY
everything went fine.
Heinz,
You hit it on the button, it was a /etc/hosts issue alright! Thanks!
What kept confusing me was the fact that my workstations functioned perfectly well while the webserver didn't. It seems that I was mistaken to assume that the installation would treat workstations served by my router's DHCP service in this way exactly the same as one assigned a static ip with port forwarding. Very wrong. Hopefully this experience will help someone else to avoid this pitfall. We live and learn.
I would like to thank everyone here that tried to provide me with help for this problem. I'm grateful for your time and expertise.
Very best regards.
