Login issue. IP works hostname does not?

I have a strange issue that I cannot resolve. I have a recent install of the community edition on Ubuntu 14.04. Only difference is the sites available directive changes to make it work compared to the official install docs.
Everything was working perfectly and I could login via IP, hostname, or FQDN. The server is a VMware VM and I forgot to install the VMware tools so our VMware monitoring software would stop complaining. I installed the tools and rebooted and now I can only login via the IP. If I try via hostname etc the form just clears with no errors. Adding /debug=1/ shows the mysql commands etc but no errors.
I have checked all the hostname settings, defaulted the host file, checked the apache and site configs and nothing working. Seems like a php issue to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and my apologies if this something simple that I have missed.
Scott

I have no idea. Pretty odd, though.

Hi Scott,
Is Ubuntu running SELinux or AppArmor? If so, may need to disable. I had a case where it would take x number of connections then stop responding.
Hope this helps, --Dave

Yep, bet Dave is right. VMware tools modified /etc/hosts so that it lost its correct selinux MAC labels.
What does 'ls -latrZ /etc/host* ' give you? Compare it to default /etc/hosts.
Might try restorecon using a known good file as a rereference. On Jul 21, 2014 8:44 AM, "David Lagace" dave@deelite.org wrote:
