rails server cannot start; getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (SocketError)

I have not found a solution to the problem, however someone did already ask about the same problem a few days ago - (Rails Server Keeps Exiting (SocketError))

After I start a rails server the system returns some error I cannot understand. To install Ruby on Rails on my mac I did everything as listed on http://railsapps.github.io/installrubyonrails-mac.html

here is my terminal response:

$ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.0 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

The problem solved by adding 127.0.0.1 localhost record to the private/etc/hosts file, which was removed by some reason before.
