Sounds like this: 
http://code.google.com/p/mollify/wiki/BackendSettings#Host_public_address_(_host
_public_address_)

the problem is that if I set the variable
"host_public_address" => "http://10.220.100.18"
I have the same error, cannot resolve address.

the method to resolve address in this framework is little complicated, maybe we 
can rewrite in a simplest way...

What do you think?

However, thanks for this great work...

If you still get the same error, it means that the setting is not defined 
correctly.

This is how the host is determined:

                private function getHost() {
                        if (!$this->settings->hasSetting("host_public_address")) {
                                if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) throw new ServiceException("Cannot resolve host");

                                $protocol = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 0, strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], ":"));
                                $start = strlen($protocol) + 3;
                                $end = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "/", $start);
                                if ($end > 0)
                                        $host = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $start, $end - $start);
                                else
                                        $host = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $start);
                                return $protocol."://".$host;
                        }

                        return $this->settings->setting("host_public_address");
                }

You can see that this error is not thrown if the setting exists.

Of course, please tell me how to determine the host without the setting, 
haven't found any better solution so far.

Forgot to clarify, that this setting goes to configuration.php $SETTINGS, so 
it's not a variable itself.

Thanks Samuli,

in fact if I set the proper ip in configuration.php the error gone...

just for other guys that have the same error, edit configuration.php and insert 
this line:

        $SETTINGS = array(
                "debug" => TRUE,
                "host_public_address" => "http://ip_address_ord_dns/folder_where_mollify_is_installed",
                );

Thanks for your suggestion, the function getHost is write well.

A.
