FQDN Confussion
| Posted by garf12, 01-10-2013, 02:44 PM | | Trying to setup my server so the FQDN is correct. I had this down a few weeks ago now I'm lost again. What am I doing wrong? Running ubuntu 12.04
Here is /etc/hosts
and /etc/hostname
Apache says "pache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 2001:4800:780e:510:80a6:c43a:ff04:5f1c for ServerName"
Also how do I setup DNS for this? I have @ & * A name records, do I also need to setup an A name record for master1204?
Thanks

What do you get when you run the 'hostname' command?

ServerName yourservername
If you do not find this entry then please add it and restart Apache to make the changes in effect.
Yes, you should make A record entry for master1204 in your DNS of fieldwalsh.com domain name.
