Bug: Changing Hostname is Plesk, does not change the Hostname.

Slavik

Basic Pleskian
As per the title.

Provisioned another server today with Plesk installed.

After the previous fiasco, the first thing I thought to do was change the server hostname, so went into Plesk and changed the hostname. Saved it.

Hostname lookup still shows the old one.

Restarted PSA

Hostname lookup still shows the old one.

Restarted the server

Hostname still shows the old one.


For whatever reason, the plesk hostname changing facility does not apply correctly.

I have left the server "as is" for the time being incase you wish to investigate, though not for long as I am expecting to load several clients onto it by the end of the day.
