Besides I think the system host and domain in cpanel digitalocean not used at all, try using dns mailGun but never checked.
Now, it is assumed that it must create hostname here?

or inside as a cname? http://mindshat.xyz/uploads/default/original/1X/aafb6301883eeef3b995421eaa406347f55070d3.JPG use the IP or an @? All this did not see it anywhere in the installation documentation. Please help me

This question was answered by @MichaelOjeda:
/etc/hostname is just a file. You’re getting a permission denied response, because it’s not executable, not that it would “run” anyway. You can get your hostname by running “uname -n” - although I think that’s not what you want. I think you mean domain name.
