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?
@kamaln7 i need change the /etc/init/hostname.conf and modify the value description?
The only problem I have is the message 'stop: Unknown instance
hostname stop / waiting '
No, you do not need to change anything. Everything should work fine as is. hostname is not a service, it's a program that runs once, sets the hostname, and exists.
stop: Unkown instance
basically means that the hostname program is not running, which is OK.
I am having similar issue where I am unable to stop a service ( i am trying to stop freeradius )
stop: Unknown instance:
Now i stop/reload the Apache.
sudo service apache2 reload
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service apache2 start
