Force hostname change

[Solowing]

Hi everyone,

I restarted my VPS using the panel of my VPS provider, and this panel has changed my hostname, so i can't change it anymore.

Normally, my hostname must be cpanel1.domain.fr But with the restart, the hostname is cpanel1

So, any idea to force the hostname change ?


Sorry for my english, i'm french

Howdy,

What type of vps is it? I know that viruozzo/openvz vps's and openstack vps's can rename a server on reboot. Each has a way of correcting the issue.

Thanks!

I think it's OpenVZ, my VPS provider is - Removed -

Login to your vps control panel and change the hostname. After that set the hostname in whm too.

It doesn't work, I was always the old hostname, is not possible to interrupt the current change?

Hello

You can change the existing hostname via:

"WHM >> Change Hostname"

It's documented at:

Change Hostname - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

I also suggest contacting your VPS hosting provider and requesting help with changing the hostname associated with your VPS at the node level.

Thank you.
