Hostname change won't persist

[hellowodl]

Changing the hostname seems pretty straightforward using v-change-sys-hostname, yet it seems impossible to let this persist through reboots.

Code: Select all

root@weacceptcrypto:~# v-change-sys-hostname weacceptcrypto.org
root@weacceptcrypto:~# hostname
weacceptcrypto.org

Works nice and dandy methinks.
Up next! Reboot the whole thing:

Code: Select all

root@weacceptcrypto:~# hostname
weacceptcrypto

oh you little ducker

Any ideas to let this persist through reboots?

Try to log out and log in.

Hello,

It is advisable to ensure that the required hostname is correctly specified in /etc/hosts file in the server.

Its normal if you use a vps, say your provider change hostname from node, if not in any reboot will be changed.

$hostname will give you an immediate change, but for persistent change, a better solution is to modify the /etc/sysconfig/network file.

Code: Select all

vi /etc/sysconfig/network

and then locate HOSTNAME= line, change it to what you want and restart your machine.
