Hello

********************* ERROR *********************

Your hostname is not set properly. Please
change your hostname to a fully qualified domain name,
and re-run this installer.

*******************************************************
If you wish to change it press Ctrl+C NOW!!!
Otherwise, you must change it once the install is complete.
And then run /scripts/upcp --force

Main >> Networking Setup >> Hostname

That is not the correct answer as he is not able to login to his cPanel at all.

It has been covered in here but I will tell you what you will need to do. You will need to login to you server via ssh.

Then edit the following , to make sure they are correct.

/etc/sysconfig/network

/etc/hosts

You will have to enter in something like server.yourserver.com

Enter what ever you put in there in your /etc/hosts file also.

I always reboot when I have to do that but I am sure you can just restart services that will work also.

If you need help let me know via PM please.

You need to download a software on your machine that will allow you to SSH to your server, popular softwares are Putty or SSH.

From the cPanel website Mandriva Linux 2006 isn't a supported OS, so you may have problems running it in that environment anyway.
