WHM is telling me that! I am trying to change it, but it won't let me, it just keeps saying that!
Help!

Hello,
what does
# hostname
show?
If you want to make sure the hostname is set correctly, these are the commands and files you need
# hostname your.host.com
Then edit the following , to make sure they are correct.
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/var/named/your.dns.zone.com.db (add A record for host)
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Restart services such as mail and apache if you change the hostname.

Actually, if that is properly quoted, it looks like you have a space at the end of your hostname.
DigitalN,
Would you normally recommend a reboot as well? I usually tend to simply because you are changing the network characteristics of the server. Or, at leaset a restart if /etc/init.d/network?

Chirpy,
I usually wouldn't do a reboot - I find that restarting all of the services, such as /etc/init.d/exim restart && /etc/init.d/network restart && /etc/init.d/ipaliases restart && /etc/init.d/named restart && /etc/init.d/httpd graceful and logging out is enough. It won't hurt though to reboot, personal prefs. I value my uptime too much

Thanks for that. I never normally recommend reboots - only for kernels and hostname changes - and I've always been wary about recommending people to restart network from within an SSH session, though I've done it enough times myself.

I really need a quick fix, all my mail is bouncing back because of invalid hostnames and synatx errors!
Just FYI: Paying a competent server admin to help you with things you can't deal with can help ensure that you get things working much faster...cooldude7273 said:I don't really know how to do any of that. Sorry
but if you don't know how to edit simple text files, or use cli/ssh, you really shouldn't be the sole admin of a server.
