[Case 128077] DNSOnly check_valid_server_hostname sends invalid alert

I have 3 DNSONLY VPSs around the world. I recently changed the hostnames by editing /etc/sysconfig/network, but all three sent me "Hostname Configuration Error" emails overnight with the message "WHM has detected a manual hostname change.". They linked to the WHM page to change the hostname, but this does not exist in DNSONLY. What is the proper method to change a hostname in DNSONLY and to clear this misconfiguration?

  Hello :) Please submit a bug report for this via: Submit A Bug Report That notification should be addressed for DNS-Only installations. In the meantime, you should be able to use the "hostname" command to correctly alter the hostname. Thank you.

  Hello :) Yes, internal case number 128077 is open to address the issue where manual updates of the hostname on an 11.46+ DNSOnly server will trigger a hostname-change alert, and direct the user to update their hostname through WHM, which is not possible on a DNSOnly server. The "Change Hostname" option is going to be added to WHM on DNS-Only to address this issue. You can monitor our change log for the inclusion of the case number: 11.46 Change Log Thank you.

  Just to add my 2p: I've hit the same issue. The correct, new, hostname is already showing in both /etc/sysconfig/network and with the hostname command. Yet I still get the error when I run /scripts/check_valid_server_hostname. While I wait for the Change Hostname option to be added to WHM, what other commands might I run at the command line to do this manually?

  You can manually correct the hostname entry in /etc/wwwacct.conf until the resolution has been released. Thank you.
