When I execute

python -m Mce.abe --config chain1.conf --commit-bytes 100000 --no-serve

Am getting "RPC failed: [Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known"

Is there any solution for this.?

Did you follow the instructions in full to configure your MultiChain Explorer with the right port, directory, and so on?

Ya I followed. I did not change content of chain1.example.conf file. Now am getting "RPC failed: [Errno socket error] [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution"
Please post the content of your chain1.conf file.
Content of multichain.conf :

rpcuser=multichainrpc
rpcpassword=2AG1rKAfhpfgZtHNoxoGdpZ1sZUM4dQYaHabqXX6Woei
rpcport=7444

Content of chain1.conf :

# Config file for MultiChain Explorer
#
# Same file format as Abe.  Please refer to Abe.conf for more
# information about the parameters shown below and other advanced options.

# Port to serve web pages
port 2750

# Who to accept connections from.
# You can only have one host entry in the config file otherwise the explorer will report an error.
# host 0.0.0.0         # to accept connections from anybody (including localhost) e.g. production
# host localhost     # to only accept connections from your local machine e.g. testing
host localhost

# Configure a MultiChain network
datadir += [{
        "dirname": "~/.multichain/chain1",              # Path to chain's data folder
        "loader": "default",                            # Do not change
        "chain": "MultiChain chain1",                      # Display name in explorer
        "policy": "MultiChain"                          # Do not change
        }]

# Database type (do not change)
dbtype = sqlite3

# Filename of database
connect-args = chain1.explorer.sqlite
