I do not clearly understand your issue, can explain it again? And post only in English.

I have a problem with my VPS. When I create a VPS, I give a specific name (for exemple, vps2.euroteamspeak.com). When I reboot the VPS, I only have the name of vps2 on ssh which gives me a problem with cPanel or Direct Admin.
Can you please help me fixing this problem ?

when you create the container you should provide the hostname (not hostname.domain.com).

what template do you use and what problem do you have with cPanel or Direct Admin?

if you use our centos-5-standard_5.2-1_i386.tar.gz template you get:

[root@cpanel ~]# hostname
cpanel
[root@cpanel ~]# hostname -f
cpanel.domain.com
[root@cpanel ~]#

invalid HELO due to hostname

we are seeing this as well - strange

in short - when we do hostname - it reports the hostname but not the full hostname -

when we do hostname -f we see the full hostname such has

sub.hostname.com

everyone however fails to see the full sub.hostname.com
cPanel builds the HELO from the hostname - so not sure what to do here

cron

I setup a cron to reset the proper hostname every 15 minutes
works like a charm - go figure

hostname may not include a domain name!

 

[typo3usa]

understood but ...

hostname may not include a domain name!

I understand - however since this is the cPanel world we are having the issue with - this work around works

go figure

i know - drives me batty as well having to do something wrong to make something work

Re: invalid HELO due to hostname

hello,

we install proxmox in one server for test and we see the same issue, this is no good when you install cpanel

when you install cpanel, cpanel only see cpanel instead of cpanel.domain.com, how fix this ?

First, report a bug to cpannel support.

As a temporary workaround you can try to modify

/etc/vz/dists/scripts/redhat-set_hostname.sh (comment line val=...)

function set_hostname()
{
        local cfgfile="$1"
        local var=$2
        local val=$3
        [ -z "${val}" ] && return 0
#       val=${val%%.*}
        put_param "${cfgfile}" "${var}" "${val}"
        hostname "${val}"
}

Does that help?

hello,

this is no a cpanel bug,

i create a empty VPS and when you put hostname no show the hostname complete,

i resolve the problem adding the # you recommend.

now we continue whit the test thanks

 

[dietmar]

It is by sure 100% a cpannel bug.

Hostname should be a name without domain. The following behaviour is correct:

# hostname
test
 
# hostname -f
text.example.com

I consider everything else as wrong.

cpannel should use gethostbyaddr() instead of expecting 'hostname' to be a FQDN.

on debian it's the same thing

#hostname
host
#hostname -f
host.domain.tld
