Fedora – Zoyinc

Segmentation faults uploading images in WordPress

Renaming a Fedora host

This article explains, to the best of my knowledge, what to do when renaming a Fedora server. My notes relate most recently to Fedora 14 and 16. Basically open up and edit the following files: /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/hosts /etc/samba/samba.conf /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth* It should be that all you change are any references to the name of the host.… read more…
