Hi,

I got the following message and finally after plesk installation, I can't login to Plesk. I modified the hosts file. Is there any way to reconfigure Plesk?

Thank you in advance


Warning: Host name check failed.
Can't bind to socket: Cannot assign requested address
(hostname='myhostname', ip=198.105.254.11)

Your host name must resolve to the correct IP address of your server, except for
the cases when you use network address translation (NAT).
The installer will continue the installation skipping the host name check,
however, there are chances that the product will not be installed properly.
 
What sort of output command:

# grep myhostname /etc/hosts
 
What about output of command

# grep 198.105.254.11 /etc/hosts

?
 
Looks like you do something wrong. This output is impossible.
Look, on my test server, for example, I see:

[root@ppu12-5 ~]# grep 10.59.37.1 /etc/hosts
10.59.37.1 ka.parallels.com ka.swsoft.com ka.sw-soft.com

As you can see in output I have IP (bold) which was used for grep command.
You can't see in output "79.175.176.46 GHMI-VM01-1457" if you grep myhostname or 198.105.254.11
 
Can you provide me output of commands mentioned by me above?
