For about the past month I've been getting this automated email repeatedly:

======================================
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (host.domain.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 11.111.111.11. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.

Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.


You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
======================================

After I log into my WHM after receiving this email I get a pop-up which asks if I'd like it to try to add the entry manually, which I've tried and it seems to work for a while but starts all over again after about a day.

Here's what I've got going:

WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R18033
FEDORA 1 i686 on virtuozzo - WHM X v3.1.0

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Adam

add a DNS entry for the hostname to the ip address from inside your whm. also make sure that the entry at /etc/hosts for the hostname is correct:

11.111.111.11 host.domain.com
-----------------------------------------------------

also add an entry for the subdomain host.domain.com inside the db file for domain.com; and the warning should not repeat. i have explained all the methods, but usually adding a DNS entry for the hostname inside the server will help.
