Re: Setting up hostname
Hi Thanks for all your help, much appreciated. I edited my both the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts to include the line 'hostname 142.135.134.154' of course, that's not my real ip addy. Am i suppose to edit these files? or did you mean to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file. THe /etc/sysconfig/network file already had the proper hostname entry in it, so i left it at that. and after that to do final check, just run : hostname ... till it shows you your real_host_name, if it doesn't just mail me :D when i type, hostname, i still just get my own ip addy shown to me. Do i have to reboot, or reinitialize some variables. THanks a bunch for you help. It's greatly apprecaited.

Re: Setting up hostname
Hi there Thanks for your reply. check your system configuration ... just run from shell script : hostname and what does it show you ... WHen i run 'hostname' i get my ip address shown to me. and then check your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf my /etc/hosts has the following in it: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 testbox localhost.localdomain localhost my /etc/resolv.conf has the following in it: nameserver 137.82.1.1 nameserver 137.82.22.12 after you sure your hostname has been configured properly (on OS side), then restart your mysqld ;-) should be work by then ... I'm not too too sure how to make sure that my hostname has been configured properly. I'm still in the works of getting a domain name, so no domain name has been set up to look up the ip of my box. When I do register a domain name, I know i have to modify my httpd.conf to get apache to work, but do i have to do anything for any other system, mysql, php, or apache files?
