This is a really stupid question, but I honestly don't know the answer to it. After doing some searches, I'm still not sure what to do.
In Plesk, I have the ability to change my server's hostname.
The default hostname is "localhost.localdomain"
To what can I change this?
If I do...what will be affected?
I am currently with MediaTemple and my hostname is automatcially as.mydomain.com, they have told me that the as is deprecated now and I can chose what to put for the hostname... Do I just put www is that how it works?

Right now if I type the full URL: https://mypcp.mycustomdomain.com:8443 it works fine but if i type just mypcp.mycustomdomain.com:8443 it keeps loading until it times out but it never redirects to https.
Now with Plesk 12 (and I suppose all previous versions) we can't change the SMTP banner to something other than the hostname.But If server host different IPs with different domains,only the primary IP do not have problems for email delivability all other domains are marked spam.This is a critical issue for email deliverability. Very critical issue that should be solved asap.the only solution that we found with our systemists is to remove Plesk, but sure it's not what I would like to do.

I migrated IP of this server in datacenter, because they ask us to do it, so in /etc/hosts for example I found old IP, I changed it, restart network interface, but always the same thing... postfix too (changed IP and restart).
I enter one of my IPs or the hostname belonging to this IP, followed by the Plesk port, and I get redirected to the "main" hostname of the server, which was set in Plesk. But at this moment that hostname is used by another server (my old server) and so I'm redirected to the other server and cannot access Plesk on the new server.
I don't know why Plesk reacts like this, because it did not on the old server. Here the problem more detailed:
I'm just configuring my new server with Plesk 11. My old server uses Plesk 10. On my old server / in Plesk 10 I have the following scenario:
- I have several IPs (10)
- Each IP is used for a different domain
- Each IP has it's domain as the reverse entry (configured outside of the server/Plesk)
- Each IP is set to "Dedicated" in Plesk
- I set Plesk to listen only on one of these IPs (and different port)
- Several domains are created in Plesk, but not a domain for my Plesk IP
- The server's name is one of the domains (required for mails not being recognized as spam)
- The hostname of the Plesk IP is one assigned by my provider (something like x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com)
- Entering the IP of Plesk redirects to the "Plesk hostname"
=> Plesk can be accessed by using x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com:myport
And under Plesk 11 (here comes the problem):
- Still several IPs (but less: 4)
- One IP should be used for Plesk, one for domain X, one for domain Y and the last one for the other domains
- Reverse entries are x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com for Plesk IP, domain X/Y for two other IPs and the main domain for the last IP
- Plesk IP and the two single domain IPs are configured as dedicated, the last one as shared
- At this point I did not configure any domains in Plesk
- Server's name is the same as my old server (the main domain)
=> Entering any IP with the Plesk port redirects to the servers hostname, e.g. my main domain, which is still on the old server.
=> Result: I cannot access Plesk!
Of course I could just change the hostname of the server via SSH (just have to find out how to do this), but why does Plesk react in another way now? Or is the problem that I cannot change Plesk to listen on only one IP?
Current Version Installed :Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5.30 Update #31
Problem: When username have @ like : myuser@mydomain.com
Steps : When configure the setting all go right (test to validate setting is ok too) , but when Scheduled Backup Settings using Personal FTP Repository cannot connect for server because the url use 2 @ like error message below.
Error Message :

i have installed ppa 11.5 update #3 and now updated to update #4.
While adding new service nodes, i get everytime the error "Can not determine remote host "hostname" platform". I tryed Apache web server standalone and with mysql, postfix...
the hostname is www.domain.com also in the serversettings of plesk. When we go to http://www.domain.com:8443 we become redirected to https://www:8443. The only way to connect to plesk is to use https the redirect from http doesnt work.

Seems this started when upgrading to a version of 12. It was working a few days ago and only seems to affect mailing lists. I found a google Cached thread here where Igor was assisting some folks as late as Aug 4 and referenced this was "reported to development (PPP-10678 for your reference)" it seems the forums on Parallels changed or something because several Google links are not working and resulting in having to used cached results for the two links below.
I am able to disable SPF and the e-mails go through just fine however this was working with SPF enabled before a recent upgrade.

I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.
Installed APF on a Fedora Core 6 box, had a problem with one of the modules (Unable to load iptables module (ipt_multiport), aborting) which was sorted by editing the functions file.
But I now get this come up 30 times when I start the firewall:
hostname: Unknown host
Some guides talk about setting a hostname but I dont have a domain name just an IP Address.
Then depending on what guide I look at there are references to different files. So I am not sure which file to edit.
I hope your day is going good. I've been trying to fix a problem I had all week. I receive daily email notification that "example.[url]" does not resolve to any IP. However, when in WHM, it already contains Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125. I've tried a few solutions from the web, but to no avail:
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (example.mydomainname.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 208.53.183.125. 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
1) Within WHM, I have the following:
-Add an A entry for your hostname (I only have one listed)
Hostname: example.mydomainname.com
Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125
-Primary/secondary nameserver
Primary Nameserver: ns1.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.26)
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.27)
-Resolver Configuration
Primary Resolver: 66.90.68.25
Secondary Resolver: 66.90.68.26
-Additional IP my webhost gave me to use:
208.53.181.26 (used in primary name server)
208.53.181.27 (used in secondary name server)
208.53.181.28
-Current DNS Zone listing:
example.com (my website URL that is currently working)
example.mydomainname.com (hostname I made myself that contains the server main IP)
ns1.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.26)
ns2.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.27)
2) My edit "edit /etc/resolv.conf" contains the following:
Search localdomain
nameserver 66.90.68.25
nameserver 66.90.68.26
Issue: I receive daily email notification that "example.mydomainname.com" does not resolve to any IP. However, when in WHM, it already contains Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125.
Here are the scenarios :
1. This Dedicated Server don't have main domain name but I use something like hostname.domain.com for the hostname.
2. The nameservers I use are something like ns21.domain.com and ns22.domain.com which I registered it already on my domain registrar.
3. Domain.com is use on other Dedicated server
Are these kind of setup okay? or should I really changed the hostname.domain.com to something else that is hosted on the same server?
I have a server with RHEL 5 installed. The problem is that the server shows the output of the hostname command as (none). I checked the /etc/sysconfig/network file and it shows the correct hostname. I also tried to change the hostname in the /etc/sysconfig/network file and restart the server. But hostname command still shows (none).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server with WHM 11.23.2. I am in the process of "attempting" to change the hostname for a group of websites and also the nameservers.
Let's say for practical senses that these were the old details:
Hostname: abc.example.com
Nameservers: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com
I changed in the following sections of WHM..
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Hostname to
123.newsite.com
and then...
Networking Setup -> Hostname to 123.newsite.com
and then...
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Primary Nameserver to ns1.newsite.com and then...
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Secondary Nameserver to ns2.newsite.com.
Then...
Networking Setup -> Nameserver IPs. I deleted the old ones and created the two new ones: ns1.newsite.com and ns2.newsite.com.
I have double checked that this information is still there. Obviously newsite.com is listed as a domain/account. However, example.com was naturally the first one associated with this server.
I performed a server reboot, apache reset etc.
This was three days ago. I assumed it had all changed over. Until I (stupidly) remembered that I hadn't changed the goDaddy information to point to these new nameservers. I panicked thinking all the sites (six of them) would be down. However, they weren't. When I tried to change the nameserver information for a domain in goDaddy it came back with errors... it would only accept ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.
So, I did a tracert to the IP address of the server and indeed it comes back as abc.example.com. Every domain is associated with that static IP.
I can't even find anywhere where abc.example.com is listed within the WHM. All the new values are listed... so, where is it pulling this from? I thought the reset of the server (as a graceful reboot) would resolve this issue.. it hasn't. I've rebooted twice and awaited the thirty minutes for everything to get back online. No success.

on one server we have changed hostname.. and now we receive mail delivery failed as this:
You cannot setup a domain that is the same as the servers hostname
"

We have check under dnsstuff.com and for sun.***.net there aren't mx dns set
sun. is setting, under whm, into account www.***.net
we have try to add a new account for sun.***.net but system said

So, How to set correctly MX DNS record for hostname?
my VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased.
I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning.
First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings.
However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right?
Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this.
Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?
I am with a server, I alter the hostname for the command:
root@servidor [~]# hostname newhostname.domain.com
But when I give the command below, it continues the same hostname.
root@servidor [~]# host IP_SERVER

I already altered WHM and /etc/hosts, but anything.
I have one VPS with CentOs and WHm .
No I want to change the hostname for he VPS. So in how many server's configuration files I have to make the changes?
I've set up a few domains in WHM, though I noticed when I use Ping Plotter to do a traceroute on the domain, the result always shows host.mydomain.com as the last stop, instead of just mydomain.com:
Code:
Target Name: mydomain.com

13 82 ms [80.71.21.100]
14 84 ms host.mydomain.com [23.32.14.91]
I was wondering, how can I configure the DNS in WHM so the last stop is just mydomain.com?
My server is fedora core 4
in whm :
Invalid Hostname. (This account is currently not available.). Hostnames must be
fully qualified domain names and not contain any spaces or tabs.
Say for example I have a cPanel dedicated server, with a hostname> earth.anonymous.com which is where I host several resold shared accounts all using my nameservers, ns2.anonymous.com and ns2.anonymous.com
I am using the cPanel dns, simply pointing the domain namesevers to two IP`s given in my IP allocation.
I wish to lease another server, using the hostname: venus.anonymous.com
This is where I start getting confused with the domain/dns. Would it be easier for me to use a third party dns service such as easydns to host the actual main domain dns?
If someone can understand what I`m getting at here, could they give me a few tips of getting this setup and easy and reliable as possible.
A lot of hosting companies are using anonymous hostnames, is this a good plan?
I have a VPS with the hostname myhost.domain.com, with four IP addresses, one of which is assigned to a shared hosting account (using WHM/cPanel) at sub.domain.com.
For email delivery purposes (I'm sending e-commerce receipts (that MUST be delivered) from PHP apps running on sub.domain.com), do I need to set up reverse DNS entries that say their IP addresses belong to myhost.domain.com, or to sub.domain.com?
I got rvskin with whm and it seems whm create account for itself.But every time when i load whm i getting popup with error Hostname A Entry Missing!
The server was unable to lookup an an A entry for its hostname (ns175.domain.com). This is generally because the entry was never added. However this could also be the result of your nameserver(s) being down. If you would like to attempt to automatically add the entry, And i am sure i have that A entry.Any idea why is that happening ?
Hello I am totally new to Dedicated hosting

also what about the Nameservers for mydomain.com that I am supposed to enter in my domain admin panel, should I leave them blank?
