Where did the "invalid hostname" come up? You might not have allocated enough memory, but /etc/hosts does have its requirements. The configurator should have complained if it was invalid there though. 127.0.0.1 should be the same name as you set for hostname in configuration. And it must be a fully qualified domain name. No worries on a local box though, for example, it should be like this for KNOS:

# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts,v 1.16.32.1 2009/04/15 03:14:26 kensmith Exp $
#
# Host Database
#
# This file should contain the addresses and aliases for local hosts that
# share this file. Replace 'my.domain' below with the domainname of your
# machine.
#
# In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may
# not be consulted at all; see /etc/nsswitch.conf for the resolution order.
#
#
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.KNOS-64 KNOS-64 KNOS-64.local <--- IPV4 hostname here, local rather than .com
::1 localhost localhost.KNOS-64 KNOS-64 KNOS-64.local <--- IPV6 hostname here, local rather than .com
#
# Imaginary network.
#10.0.0.2 myname.my.domain myname
#10.0.0.3 myfriend.my.domain myfriend
#
# According to RFC 1918, you can use the following IP networks for
# private nets which will never be connected to the Internet:
#
# 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
# 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
# 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
#
# In case you want to be able to connect to the Internet, you need
# real official assigned numbers. Do not try to invent your own network
# numbers but instead get one from your network provider (if any) or
# from your regional registry (ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.)
