Hostname error while installing

[flipsidetw]

Greetings all! I've installed centos 6.5 & trying to install cpanel. But everytime I get this error "hostname () is not set properly error. Please change your hostname to a fully qualified domain name........"
I've edited /etc/hosts & added a hostname like this :

192.168.0.101 server1.myworld.com server1

Disabled firewall & SELinux. What am I doing wrong? Plz any solution someone! Tnx!!!

Hello

Please set the hostname of your server with the "hostname" command. EX:

hostname server.domain.com

Thank you.

Hi,

...and to make it persistent across reboot edit /etc/sysconfig/network file by adding HOSTNAME=server.domain.com entry or edit the existing one if there is one..

Regards,

Tnx. It worked finally. But it's taking too long to install. I'm not sure if it's working or not but I went out to a party while cPanel was installing & after like 3 hrs I'm seeing lines of most of them like this,

[20140307.000XXX]     Retrieving and staging /cpanelsync/11.42.0.19/binaries/linux-x86_64/perl/...........

[20140307.000XXX]     Retrieving and staging /cpanelsync/11.42.0.19/binaries/linux-x86_64/perl/...........

I'm totally new so I don't know what's going on. Is it really installing? If it is, then how long will it take to finish. Tnx!
