changing hostname

[eagles051387]

I am going to be restoring a snapshot of the current testing vps i have to my live server what do i need to do to change the hostname of the server? Does anything special need to be done from within vesta or can I change the host name as per the ubuntu way??

Just change the ips and the hostname and you should be fine.

Code: Select all

v-change-sys-hostname server.yourhostname.com
