Set up Selenium on CentOS7 - selenium

Question

I am trying to set up test environment on my CentOS-VM.
I have the following three files in my Java-maven-project running in Eclipse:
main.java
package main;
public class main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StartFirefox fire = new StartFirefox();
StartChrome chrome = new StartChrome();
chrome.start();
fire.start();
}
}
StartFirefox.java
package main;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class StartFirefox {
WebDriver fire;
public StartFirefox() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/main/resources/geckodriver/geckodriver");
System.out.println("debug 1");
fire = new FirefoxDriver();
System.out.println("debug 2");
fire.manage().window().maximize();
}
public void start() {
System.out.println("debug 3");
fire.get("https://www.google.com/");
System.out.println("debug 4");
}
}
StartChrome.java
package main;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class StartChrome {
WebDriver chrome;
public StartChrome() {
String pathToChromeDriver = "src/main/resources/chromedriver/chromedriver";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", pathToChromeDriver);
System.out.println("debug 1");
chrome = new ChromeDriver();
System.out.println("debug 2");
}
public void start() {
System.out.println("debug 3");
chrome.get("https://www.google.com/");
System.out.println("debug 4");
}
}
When running the program with Firefox the window opens, but it doesn't go to my url.
Instead I get the following output in the console after some time (seems to be a timeout):
debug 1

I am stuck here as I don't know how to fix this problem. What may be the cause?
When running the program with Chrome the window opens, but it doesn't go to my url.
Instead I get the following output in the console:

When running this project on Windows 10 it all works fine.
So it seems to be a problem with the OS. But I can't find any solutions when searching. It only says something about a server and headless version.
UPDATE:
Added debug messages. Firefox reaches only message 1, while Chrome prints until message 3.

Answer 1

Your first error stack trace from the geckodriver 0.19.1 does gives us some hint:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: connection refused
But the second stack trace from ChromeDriver (v2.9.248304) says it all:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to localhost:8004 [localhost/127.0.0.1, localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused)
The entries within the /etc/hosts file are not properly configured.
To fix this, ensure that /etc/hosts on your Linux Box contains the following entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
