Found a workaround that works. I assigned 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts file to www.127.0.0.1 and everything works. From the research I have done I cannot prove conclusively if this is a problem on Ubuntu 12.04 machines or not because I could not find other people who were facing the same issue.
In addition I am not sure if assigning the above causes any security issues but since it is just a name I think it should be fine. This issue may be related to not assigning a fully qualified domain name to the Linux host. Thanks for your help Anton and hope this helps others.
