What’s the output of running <code>hostname -f</code> in the console? What are the contents of your <code>/etc/sysconfig/network</code> file?

even i am facing same error . <br> <br>/etc/sysconfig/network file contains <br> <br>HOSTNAME=myhostname <br> <br>$hostname -f <br>hostname: Unknown host <br> <br>what may be the error ? <br> <br>

Try replacing <pre>HOSTNAME=myhostname</pre> with <pre>HOSTNAME=beta.mydomainName.com</pre> <br>Reboot your droplet, does that fix it?
