im trying to instaill using the tutorial but im confused at this part? Now run echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start should i type echo softserver.localhost> /etc/softserver/etc/init.d/softserver.sh start i am completely new to this and im doing it for college any help would be appreciated. i am doing this at the root with this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p3
HI, No just typing : "echo softserver.localhost > /etc/hostname" OR nano /etc/hostname and edit directly the file and after : type into terminal : /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start for changes take effect..
would i be better/easier trying this on ubuntu desktop version? or should i stick with the server? what im trying to do is configure a network with an intranet & e-mail server for a graded unit class at college i have never used linux before so im really struggling to understand what the commands are doing?
On an Ubuntu Desktop version or Server version it's the same... Make an mail server if you never use linux before ? You will need a lot of courage !
I used the same How-To and I wasnt too familiar with linux neither when stated to build mail/www server but i did it with just few problems. Most of them were typos in commands that I wasnt too familiar with.
