Hostname Lost

[adapter]

Hi

i have a problem when i reboot my server i can't access anymore in cpanel because the system can't find the hostname but looking in /etc/hosts i have it! I can get whm back only if i type from ssh "hostname host.domain.com" how can i fix?

You also need to check your network configuration file:

/etc/sysconfig/network

I have a similar problem, although I don't lose connectivity to the server.

Every time the box gets rebooted the hostname will reset back to the default it was when first setup by my webhost, and therefore I have to go in cpanel, change hostname, and then also edit /etc/hosts cause it keeps leaving some leftover name which doesn't have counterpart in the dns.

Any idea where cpanel keeps the default hostname template (if any)?

Thanks,

Manually add the hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network this will fix the problem.

Unless you're running on a Virtuozzo VPS, if you keep losing your hostname you need to speak to your VPS provider.
