Topic: myserver.e-smith.mydomain.com

[steve]

I have an old 4.0 server that I have upgraded to 4.1.2 and then to 5.1.2 and I have noticed that when I go to review configuration in server manager or phpsysinfo and look at the name, it puts an 'e-smith' in the middle of the name, like
myserver.e-smith.mydomain.com

I have installed a couple of 5.1.2 servers and they do not have 'e-smith' in the name
it looks like
myserver.mydomain.com

any way to change my old server so that it does not have 'e-smith' in the name???

thanks

This would probably be in one of the faqs or the doco youd assume....

If you have in your config
LocalDomainPrefix=.e-smith

then that would be why its showing, something like
ie. try
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration show LocalDomainPrefix

if it shows .e-smith then
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set LocalDomainPrefix ''

will clear it and youll need to follow it up with a
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

and possibly a reboot, though maybe not, but you would have reconfigured your internal dns and dhcpd settings etc. so to be sure to be sure

To be sure, to be sure, do:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
