Hi all, as can be seen in tutorials about hosts file: Code: Then edit /etc/hosts. Make it look like this: nano /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.100 server1.example.com server1 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters In DigitalOcean hosts file of Debian server the file differ having 127.0.1.1 instead the real public IP Code: # Your system has configured 'manage_etc_hosts' as True. # As a result, if you wish for changes to this file to persist # then you will need to either # a.) make changes to the master file in /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl # b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in # /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data # 127.0.1.1 server1.example.com server1 127.0.0.1 localhost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Can this cause some misconfiguration in ISPConfig? I think DO resolv the 127.0.1.1 like local IP (like with a venet) but I'm not sure if change the value with the real Public IP will be better. Thanks
I think there is no need to edit that file. It is meant for internal LAN ip to be fixed for your server. Normally VPS already have a fixed LAN ip.
