Solved using your info! Thanks. Just an update for those who do not know exactly how to make it happen:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhostname
The bold section needs to be changed with your personal host name. You can find it by typing in console
hostname
Then you will know how to make it correct.
This solved the problem, thank you so much for save my time.
@oliversimon I’m a little new to server management, so pardon me if the questions sound a little stupid, but here goes:
1) When you wrote “localhost.localdomain” and “localhost”, those were as is, and not meant to be replaced with anything, correct?
2) my mail.log output showed the following:
“unable to qualify my domain name (pokemon-nyc1) – using short name”
Does the solution you provided still apply?
3) In the hosts file, I have an existing entry for:
127.0.1.1 pokemon-nyc1 pokemon-nyc1
Am I correct in assuming that the “yourhostname” is, in this case, ‘pokemon-nyc1’ ? Should the new 127.0.0.1 line then replace the 127.0.1.1 line already existing in the system?
@oliversimon okay ignore my post, I found it out by good old-fashioned trial-and-explosion :D
Hello friend, as finally do you fix the problem? I am also new to server administration.
