Describe your issue
Using Mastodon, I am trying to follow my account on PeerTube. Both, of course, are on the same server. But Mastodon returns the error:
422 Mastodon::HostValidationError
I tried the solution posted in Trouble following WriteFreely blog from Mastodon instance on same server and added the following string to my /var/www/mastodon/live/.env.production:
ALLOWED_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES=xx.xx.xx.xx
Where the x’s are my actual ip address, of course. That didn’t change anything for me; I received the same 422 error.

Just to be sure, did you restart Mastodon services?
I hadn’t, because I’m kind of new to all of this. So I looked up how to do that, and I did the following:
… with hopeful anticipation. But sadly, same result.

for your information you can also use the webadmin to restart services : Tools → services → Mastodon → Restart
lol… I can’t believe I missed that! But I’m newish, so thank you for that. Still the same results though.
Okay, adding back 127.0.0.1 and THEN restarting services did the trick. I’m learning! Thanks for the pointer!
So, to summarize, /var/www/mastodon/live/.env.production needs the following line added, where xx.xx.xx.xx is your actual IP address:
ALLOWED_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES=xx.xx.xx.xx,127.0.0.1
Then restart all three mastodon services in Tools → services → Mastodon → Restart
