    hi to all!
    I'm a newbie on Cpanel management.
    I bought a VPS with cpanel onboard.
    I've seen that i can customize my "hostname" for the V-server
    Wich is the correct way to do it??
    I've just a domain registered with DNS control zone. i tried to set in Cpanel vps01.mydomain.com but i get some error message.. so i think something goes wrong:


    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/reset_mailman_hostname", line 44, in
    raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv))
    File "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/reset_mailman_hostname", line 31, in main
    file=open('/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/' + list + '/config.pck','r')
    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck'

    What mean exactly this message? Many thanks

    To set the hostname make the changes in 2 files in the correct format. This way you can have your desired hostname set

    /etc/hosts
    /etc/sysconfig/network

    Hello :)

    You should update the hostname via:

    "WHM Home » Networking Setup » Change Hostname"

    Also, please contact your VPS hosting provider to ensure they update the hostname that is configured for your VPS on the VPS hardware node.

    Thank you.
