[Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed when trying to clone any of our repos from Bitbucket.

Question

I get URLError: [Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed when trying to clone any of our repos from Bitbucket.

I was thinking it may be a firewall or something else blocking it. Verified Firewall was off, VPN was not running, disabled anti-virus and also white listed bitbucket url in IE.

Any ideas on this error?

Hello Jason,

I  am facing the similar issue.

Winsock function  getaddrinfo fails intermittently with error 11003 [A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup] for localhost. This is happening in windows 2012. Could you please let me know the reason why intermittently  fails.

Regards,

Nirmal.

Sounds like a web server config issue (apache and/or Tomcat). Does it fail when using both localhost:8080 and 127.0.0.1:8080? What happens when you try it via the command line (SSH)?
