Hi, i created hostname: ‘mysite.com’, but, how i configure the etc/host?
My actual hosts is this
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 mysite.com mysite xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mysite.com mysite
Is correct?
But when i execute
sudo service hostname restart
This error appears:
stop: Unknow instance
hostname stop/waiting
The command hostname return mysite.com and the hostname -f return mysite.com

That’s fine, the hostname service runs hostname -b -F /etc/hostname (see /etc/init/hostname.conf) which exits after setting the hostname, so it doesn’t continue running.
Your /etc/hosts file looks proper, are you experiencing any issues with your hostname config?
I am having similar issue where I am unable to stop a service ( i am trying to stop freeradius )
stop: Unknown instance:
