Problem :
I have been searching the Internet for a real nop tutorial on the subject but could not found any direct info. on how to edit these files the proper way.
I have a Debian Internet server that I use to host some personal domains and runs Squid and rTorrent. The server is up and running with no problems. However, I am confused about a few things.
Lets say that I named my server (foo), my domain is (example.com) and my public IP is 95.211.133.200 now:
-
should /etc/hostname contains:
tango.example.com
or
tango <----- just the server name
-
should
/etc/hosts
contain:127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 95.211.133.200 foo.example.com foo
-
should
/etc/resolf.conf
contain (along with the name servers) both:domain example.com search example.com
or just the first one.
Are there any other files that I should edit in order to make things right?
-
last thing, the command:
domainname returns: (none)
I believe it should return (example.com). What should I do to correct that?
Solution :
/etc/hostname
should have just foo
/etc/hosts
looks fine
/etc/resolv.conf
should probably be example.com
for both, depending on your use case. Note that you named it /etc/resolf.conf
and it should be v
and not f
I don’t know about domainname
