hostname and serverIP change via command line

[izghitu]

Hi,

I have a VPS image of a Plesk install which I use to create new VPS'. Each time a new one is created I need to change its hostname and have it re-read the VPS IP, remove old broken IPs and regenerate apache configs.

How do I change the hostname of plesk/server via command line?
How do I have it re-read the IPs and remove the old ones via command line?

Please help

Plesk uses the system hostname, so basically you just change the system hostname with command

hostname <new_hostname>

 

[izghitu]

that will not work since plesk needs to change the hostnames in various other services

Please help

Assuming your server runs Fedora Core or RedHat, you’ll have to make changes in the following locations:

/etc/hosts

Your current hostname should be here behind the server’s IP address, change this to the new hostname

/etc/sysconfig/network

You should have a HOSTNAME variable here, change this to your new hostname.

/var/qmail/control/me

This contains the old hostname, change it to your new hostname to make qmail identify itself as the new hostname.

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.include

You should have a ServerName variable here, change it to your new hostname.

Change the servers hostname while it’s running, normally this is set at boot.

hostname <newhostname>

Set the new hostname inside Plesk’s database:

mysql -u admin -pcat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow use psa; update misc set val='NEWHOSTNAME' where param='FullHostName';

Now restart Plesk to activate your changes:

/etc/init.d/psa stopall
/etc/init.d/psa stop
/etc/init.d/psa start

what about the IP re-read and removal?
