Have you rebooted your machine since you changed the hostname? I don't know where PHP/Apache gets the hostname variable from - there are quite a few places where that variable is stored on a linux system - but most services reads the /etc/hostname file upon boot, therefor the need for a restart after changing it. You might want to check the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/hostname, and even changing it by issuing: echo your_hostname > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname If it still doesn't work, reboot to be sure. -- Kim Christensen kim.christensen@gmail.com
