changing hostname on perfect server not working

Hi,

I am trying to change the hostname on my perfect server download image (sudo nano /etc/hosts) but when I restart it, it still says server1.example.com.

Is there another place that I must configure my new hostname?

I have changed all the ip addresses already.

I am going to use this vmware image as my webserver, should I stick with "bridged" or move to "NAT" network connection for vmware?

How do I change the login, mysql root, etc passwords?


Thanks

Which distribution are you using?

 

Sorry Falko,

Forgot to mention that it is Ubuntu server 8.10 perfect setup.

Code:

echo bla.yourdomain.com > /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

 

For the "echo" command, This is what I get:

Code:

-bash: /etc/hostname: Permission denied

For the etc/init.d/.... command, this is what I get (even though I changed to server1.mydomain.com):

Code:

sudo unable to resolve host: server1.example.com

I have lost the network connection as well. I changed the Ip address/gatewaybroadcast to 192.168.1.xxx, from 192.168.0.100, because my internal network is that.

What do I do now?
