hostname

Hello, I have a server running WHM / cPanel and a Cisco Pix 501 firewall. Currently my sites are all working, but I get an automated email each day stating: "The hostname (example.hostname.com) resolves to XX.XX.XX.XX. It should resolve to 10.0.0.1. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts...

At the urging of my new hosting company, goDaddy, I used the same domain (dciwebworks.com) as the custom nameserver for BOTH my old server and new server, both using cPanel. I've created my custom DNs as NS3.DCIWEBWORKS.COM, NS4.DCIWEBWORKS.COM (NS1 and NS2 are still pointed to the old...

I'm having problems with my IP being constanly added to the spamhaus database. It's because my helo response is localhost.localdomain. But my hostname is in fact a valid hostname (bounty.mydomain.com). Everytime I reset my server, though, my hostname gets changed, so I have to set it...

This is a lesson in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" for me. My server has been working fine since I got it a few months ago. Yesterday I was in WHM and I changed an MX record for a client so he could use another server for his email. While I was in the DNS Functions area I impusively clicked...

Hello guys, I was wondering if you could help me with a little problem that I have. I have had this message twice now, and I am not sure that the server should actually resolve to 0.0.0.0. Shouldn't it resolve to it's main IP address? It is a VPS account hosted on a virtuzzo system if that...

Hi I changed my hostname via WHM. It did not update the mailserver greeting however. So it still claims to be the old host name as opposed to the new name. Where is that changed?

I'm having difficulty understanding the relationships between Hostname (Server Configuration) Hostname (Networking Setup), DNS zones and nameservers. I have a clean dedicated server with CentOS 4.3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0. I'll be running my own nameservers. I've already updated the registrar and...

This is a weird one. I go into WHM, networking setup, and change the hostname to what I want it to be. I go into SSH and type 'hostname' - it's the new hostname. So far so good. But whenever the machine reboots, it changes the hostname back to the old one!!! I tried searching for similar...

For some reason when I list a directory on my server it shows Something.com instead of the correct domain when I go to: Http://myip/~user/, I have checked all the hostnames and nothing seems to show the domain Something.com, any ideas?

The first time I restarted my server, all of the cPanel/WHM stuff stopped working. Turned out it was a matter of the hostname having reverted back to localhost from my usual "server.mydomain.com". I've edited the /etc/hosts file but when I restart, something messes up the /etc/hosts file and...

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this small problem. I have a nice Sitebuilder but when a customer enables hotlink protection it prevents showing the images displayed in the build session and preview, after publishing it's ok. Is there a way to add my 'hostname' in the list so it's...

For 5 days, been trying to configure my VPS so I can get sites up...not happening. Went thru a dns loop, finally resolved. Host name changed. Next was the seemingly rite of passage issue of PHPmyadmin, wrong username, permission denied. Using solutions suggested here turned out not to be my...

I currently get a popup from cpanel that: As far as I know the hostname can't be set on a virtuozzo vps (resets each time the vps reboots to the assigned hostname.) As far as I can tell, my vps provider has not setup dns A entries for any of their vps'es. Do they need to?
