Hi;

The test you're running doesn't match the code near the error message.
It's doing a simple ping, not attempting to ping the database. If your
host*name* is 127.0.0.1, localhost or matches the return from GetHost()
then it wouldn't even be tried.

To see the ping command that's failing, run the frontend with -v system
--loglevel debug.
