    Default Hostname

    I recently perchased a server with WHM, while going through the process to setup WHM I followed the instructions to add a hostname & DNS servers.

    the defaults were
    Hostname: TKEY-2836.valuextreme.host
    ns1.valuextreme.host
    ns2.valuextreme.host

    I first changed the DNS' to
    ns1.servermatrix.com
    ns2.servermatrix.com
    both of which went fine but when I changed my hostname to
    flyingdutchmen.servermatrix.com (Which was close to one of the suggested names given by the onscreen instructions)

    I was greeted by the following.

    Invalid License File
    Verification Server: verify.cpanel.net
    Verification Ip Address:
    Auth Server: auth.cpanel.net
    Auth Ip Address:
    License Hostname: flyingdutchman.servermatrix.com
    Main Shared Ip: 74.52.78.178
    Main Server Ip: 74.52.78.178
    License Version:

    System Time: Thu Aug 24 19:39:53 2006

    Attempting Reactivation in second(s)!

    Updating Internal cPanel Information.... Unable to retrieve file [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]Unable to retrieve file . Done
    my license is active according to
    http://verify.cpanel.net/index.cgi?i....178+&x=44&y=9

    How do I fix this?
