Hosts Name - Latest Distro - stable - 64bit

FreePBX Tips and Tricks
1

Hi,

I would like to change my hostname on my FreePBX machine. I understand I need to change my etc/host.conf file plus my /etc/sysconfig/network file. Mine look like this at the moment…

Network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain

Hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.252 localhost.localdomain

This is after a fresh install. Everything else is working perfectly… I have read on string of posts which seems to say these both need changing, but just need clarification…

Cheers

Dan

Just use the hostname command as root IE: hostname pbx.joesdeli.com

login and logout and it will be set. Make adjustments to the hosts file only if needed for mail etc.

Skyking,

I changed my hostname as per the above, but still get emails (updates, etc) from [email protected] domain. Could you point me in the right direction to be able to change this? I would like to change [email protected] to [email protected] if possible.

Many thanks.

Dan
