N00B Question
I've done a basic search through the forum and could not find an answer to my quesiton, but I have a feeling that is because it is a simple question and I am sorry for that, either way here it goes.
When I create a new account I get an e-mail that says this in the subject line: New account on host.example.com (my hostname is already setup) where do I change the setting to say my server info.
What I am running:
CentOS 6.4
CPanel / WHM 11.38.2

Those emails are sent out by the system. I don't believe they can be modified. What do you mean exactly that you'd like to change in that email? What server Info? 0 -
I'm specifically talking about the text host.example.com that should be my own hostname, correct? 0 -

Yes. If it's not go to WHM-> Networking Setup -> Change Hostname and change it.0 -

I already had that done, it is still sending emails with the "host.example.com" on the emails.0 -

It's doing that because your server's hostname is not set up correctly. Try in ssh command prompt: [QUOTE] echo $HOSTNAME
what do you get? Does your server happen to be a VPS?0 -

It is a vps. However, I got it to work. Going back through and re-saving the hostname via your steps (since the hostname was already set up via the hosting service) fixed the problem. Thanks so much! :)0
