Change Server Name

Submitted by azadmin on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 23:48

I have been running Virtualmin for several years now and without hardley any issues. I've looked around bvut I am unable to figure out how to change my server name. I thought it was under "webmin/networking/internet protocols....." but those options do not exist on my virtualmin configuration. So how do I change the server name? Thanks

Howdy -- you can change your server name in Webmin -> Networking -> Network Configuration -> Hostname and DNS Client.

If you change that, you'd also want to change the hostname in Network Configuration -> Host Addresses (which updates your /etc/hosts file).

Also, you'd want to update Webmin -> Servers -> Postfix -> General Options -> What domains to receive mail for (which updates the mydestination line of your /etc/postfix/main.cf).
