Hi team,

Please do the needful. I am not able to login to SAP GRC System. Getting the attached error.

Recently i did some changes to the file "hosts". file type is "FILE " and File description is "hosts"..I opened this file in notpad format and again opned in word pad format now the file is in wordpad format. Please find the file path below.

under C:/Windows/system 32/drivers/etc/hosts

Is the error is bcz of the file type changed ? Please let me know how fix the issue.

The correct way to modify the hosts file in windows is to run Notepad as Administrator, that way it will allow you to modify the file without changing the format.

Copy the host file from working system and replace it in your Computer in /drivers/etc/ path

that should works fine.

Thanks/Hari

Hello Venu,
it seems you messed up the (content of the) hosts file while saving it as a Wordpad file. Saving it as a plain text file (with notepad) will fix it.

Best regards,
