Add Secondary replica set in the same machine?

I'm new at mongodb so this replication is kinda confusing for me. I follow the tutorial here. I have set up 2 mongod instance in my machine:

localhost:27018
localhost:27019

with this command:

mongod --dbpath /home/db2 --port 27019 --replSet "rs1"
mongod --dbpath /data/db1 --port 27018 --replSet "rs1"

When I try to connect and set up replication using this set of command

mongo --port 27019
rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("localhost:27018")

It always says:

{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "Either all host names in a replica set configuration must
be localhost references, or none must be; found 1 out of 2",
"code" : 103
}

Any help, please ?

It would be better if you choose the machine name (available in terminal right after your username like [email protected]) instead of localhost,

Like rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("10gen.local:27018")

as the best practice always use a logical name to define the replicaset.
