Topic: change primary domain

[mdannatt]

hi, i must say this sme server is just great. when i set up, i wanted a fileserver only and set up as xxxxx.local. now i want email server as well and want to change the primary domain to xxxxx.com.au. how do i do this ? i looked in the faq and unser guide but i'm clearly an idiot.

use "Reconfigure your server" from the console of your SME or via SSH

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter6

but i'm clearly an idiot.

An idiot isn't someone that asks questions about something they do not understand, idiots are those who keep asking the same question and ignoring the answers or suggestions given.

Read through the documentation and the FAQs a few times, you'll find just about every common question is answered there.

Agreed & well said.
A nice touch from mdannatt is the humbleness to admit his/her oversight too.

I think you right. That is what i meant.

I'll plead the "needs coffee" amendment too.
