Stupid Here having problems with the host file :(

I am working on step 5 Configure The Network in the The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server (Dapper Drake) - Page 3 howto. I am trying to chage my hosts file.

Here is the host file

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost admin-desktop
127.0.1.1 admin-desktop

# 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

Here is my edited host file

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost admin-desktop
192.168.0.105 server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org server1

# 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

Why does it not change?

Code:

root@admin-desktop:/home/admin# hostname
admin-desktop
root@admin-desktop:/home/admin# hostname -f
localhost
root@admin-desktop:/home/admin#

I have tryed a restart but it does not do a thing. I have also set my ip to static. Any sugestions? Thanks

 

Any suggestions about my problem?

 

Am i going to get any help with this?

 

You can try this:

Code:

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

 

Ok my host name is coming out alright now but i am runing into another problem. My sql server will not allow me to connect to it. I checked myslq and it is up and runing.

Code:

root@server1:/home/admin# hostname
server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org
root@server1:/home/admin# hostname -f
server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org
root@server1:/home/admin# mysqladmin -h server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org -u root password mypassword
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org' failed
error: 'Host 'server1.monitorwaves.no-ip.org' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'
root@server1:/home/admin#
