Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that previously the hostname is set correctly. .vB 0 -
Ok this can be that hard. Obviously there is a setting somewhere that this script kiddy changed up. It not from the section that you suggested... Any other ideas? Where is this data generated form? 0 -

When you go to WHM -> Networking Setup -> Change Hostname and set the hostname, even if it seems correct, WHM updates all the files where the hostname exists, including /etc/wwwacct.conf 0 -
Hi quietFinn, thanks for the response. My server was rooted, For some reason they didn't lock me out of the server, which I found strange... I had to clean up the remnants of files that were all over the place. I changed the FQDN in WHM -> Networking Setup -> Change Hostname, but for some reason it did not propagate to the /etc/wwwacct.conf I had to go in there and hand jam it in there. Just did a reboot and checked it again, looks good to go. Took some work on my part but I finally got it, figured I would share with the community. Thanks again. DZ 0
