Recently installed everything and it was good. I go to change the hostname from localhost to Asterisk and now it is giving this error. Tried searching around and nothing seems to fix it. The service was restarted and seems fine. I’m not exactly sure where else to check to fix this problem.

Is there a DNS server resolving the hostname ‘Asterisk’?
I changed it on the firewall to a static IP with the Hostname. Is there another spot to check for that?
Does the firewall also provide DNS? Do you have other hostnames on your internal network that resolve to IP addresses?
I did the same thing. Wanted to change from localhost to something more descriptive… edited the file under /etc/sysconfig/network, then edited the /etc/hosts file to reflect the change. Issued the “init 6” command to reboot and CRASH! After hours of Internet research and plugging through .conf files I came across the /etc/amportal.conf, which finally led me to the solution:
# --- CATEGORY: Asterisk Manager --- # # Asterisk Manager Host # Default Value: localhost ASTMANAGERHOST=localhost
At the top of the file it clearly states that you should not edit this file, but to use the web GUI under “Advanced Settings”. Problem there is that by default the “read-only” fields are not displayed so at a glance it seems as if you can not edit this value. However, if you click to “Display Readonly Settings” and “Override Readonly Settings” you have the option to update the hostname value.
In my case I’d had enough fun, so I simply reverted back to having the server named “localhost”. Rebooted and everything was back to normal, errors went away, an I’m on to configuring further…
Hope this helps.
AsteriskNOW – Please make it possible to change the server’s hostname without breaking everything. This is a very misleading error that results in unnecessary troubleshooting, frustrations, and wasted time.
Don’t change the /etc/amportal.conf file since it has nothing to do with changing the hostname of your system.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and change the hostname there. Reboot.
