You are welcome, however before you jump for joy check it in a few hours and see if it reverted, if not then cheer.
Good luck.

| Post subject: | Ubuntu 11.04. Hostname has reverted to default value. |
Hello people, recently I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 to VPS and have changed hostname using following steps: 1. Create /etc/hostname file and put "mydomain.com" to it 2. Edit /etc/hosts file and put these new lines: Code: 127.0.1.1 mydomain.com where 123.456.789.0 is IP address of VPS. 3. Type as root: Code: # hostname mydomain.com After these operations, hostname was changed, but it has been reverted back to default Linode's value in three cases: 1. Just after some hours. 2. After VPS reboot. 3. After doing Code: # service networking restart I have no this problem with older Ubuntu versions: 9.10, 10.04, 10.10 on Linode VPS. |

Thanks waldo! I have commented SET_HOSTNAME='yes' in /etc/default/dhcpcd and at least after restarting "networking" service, hostname has not reverted. |

Thanks, Waldo. So useful! I am a cloud newbie and can see why dhcpcd is used and why I never hit this one before. Saved a lot of pulling out of hair! |

If you have not already done so, try rebooting the linode. That is what it took for one of the debian systems I'm managing to finally get in line. Make sure /etc/hostname contains the correct hostname for your server prior to rebooting. |
