Symptom

Description

Solution

When you run the
command,
"hostname" the value "myhost" is returned by the command instead of "myhost.mydomain.com".

The host name of the server is incorrect.

Check the file /etc/sysconfig/network. The host name must be a fully qualified domain name. See the following example.

Incorrect: myhost

Correct: myhost.mydomain.com

During upgrade, the following message is displayed: check_hostname <FAILED>

The host file is
incorrect.

The file /etc/hosts should contain the host name and IP address of your server (see the following example). If it does not, use an editor to modify the file.

Example

---/etc/hosts begin file--
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
1.2.3.4 myhost.mydomain.com myhost
---/etc/hosts end file--

where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of myhost.mydomain.com
