I'm trying to change my server's hostname and not having much luck.
My server is also a nameserver- the old hostname works ok, the only
reason I'm wanting to change it is to not confuse newbies.
Old hostname:
server.heftyhosting.com 66.33.80.195
server2.heftyhosting.com 66.33.81.195
I want to change it to:
ns.heftyhosting.com 66.33.80.195
ns2.heftyhosting.com 66.33.81.195
Here's what I've tried so far from my lurking on the sourceforge webmin
list:
==============
first one:
==============
"On RedHat, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and change the value there. This
will not change it until you reboot"
==============
second one:
==============
"Maybe you could use
find / -exec grep -l ****** {} \; 2>>/dev/null
(put your present host name instead of ******)
to find the file where your hostname is stored"
==============
end webmin examples of possible solutions
==============
My dns zone file now says this:
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA ns.heftyhosting.com. postmaster.ns.heftyhosting.com. 2001120602
10800 3600 604800 3333
@ IN A 66.33.80.195
ftp.heftyhosting.com. IN A 66.33.80.195
heftyhosting.com. IN MX 10 mail.heftyhosting.com.
heftyhosting.com. IN NS ns.heftyhosting.com.
heftyhosting.com. IN NS ns2.ns.heftyhosting.com.
heftyintro IN CNAME heftyhosting.com.
mail.heftyhosting.com. IN A 66.33.80.195
www.heftyhosting.com. IN A 66.33.80.195
What could I do next?
is the ns2.ns.heftyhosting.com incorrect?
Shouldn't there be a line for
66.33.81.195=ns2.heftyhosting.com like:
@ IN A 66.33.81.195
in order to get ns2 to resolve??
Many thanks
David
