[ERROR] Unable to found your system hostname!

[Eminos]

Hi,

I'm trying to install ispCP 1.0.7 on a Debian Lenny VPS from hosteurope. I've set up a hostname for the machine after their FAQ, a script that runs on boot, and I can see it's set if I run "cat /etc/hostname".

Running the ispcp-setup script I get this error:

Code:

Next you are asked to enter a "fully qualified hostname" (FQHN).
        For more infos read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FQDN.

hostname: Unknown host

        [ERROR] Unable to found your system hostname!


        [FATAL] An error occurred during setup process!
        Correct it and re-run this program.

I've installed ispCP at least 20 times before on hosteuropes VPSs, and never had this problem. How do I solve this?

Nobody? Really? No ispCP developer that has a clue about this?
I really need help with this ..

Did you type nslookup hostname (where you give your hostname) and see how it resolves?

[motokochan]

What about also if you just run the command "hostname"? Does that name resolve?

Hi there,

I've encountered the same issue today

For me that did the trick:

open: engine/setup/ispcp-setup-methods.pl
find the line with following content - should be line 1043:

Code:

chomp($hostname = `$main::cfg{'CMD_HOSTNAME'} -f`);

remove the " -f"

best regards
