I am running 10.2.8 Server.
How do I get "localhost" to work?
I've read a few things at different sites on how to do it but they
are
all referring to OS X and not server.

What do you mean by "get localhost to work"?
Do you mean that you'd like the name "localhost" to resolve to the
address 127.0.0.1, but this is not currently happening?

yes
What address is your computer using for its DNS server (in the Network
preferences)? If it is the machine's own IP or 127.0.0.1, this means
you
are running DNS services on the machine itself. If this is the case,
please post the contents of /etc/named.conf.
If your machine is using some other machine as its DNS server, can
other
machines also using that DNS server properly resolve localhost?
Using other machine as DNS server.
Others don't resolve
Has localhost resolution ever worked from your machine, or is the
failure a recent thing? If recent, can you recall any changes you made
that closely preceeded the failure?
Has never worked on my machines
In the "Server Settings" remote admin tool, is the machine's server
name supposed to be listed with 127.0.0.1 or with the actual ip address
of the machine?
