Issue Plesk Access Hostname different than IP hostname

[PluginDB]

Hello community!

There is an issue with my plesk server and its ip adress hostname

When i installed plesk i accessed the web panel with admin.domain.tld

Than i changed the hostname to core.domain.tld but the problem is on an ip lookup it still uses the admin hostname.

This is a question DNS settings. Make sure that your hostname core.domain.tld is resolvable to correct IP address. Looks like you need to change it on your DNS server which handles your domain.tld.

Thats what i did, there is no DNS record with the name "admin" pointing to my plesk server. Only the "core" dns record.

Have you changed hostname in Tools&Settings -> Server settings?

 

[PluginDB]

Yes it is set to core.domain.tld

 

[IgorG]

Have you checked that core.domain.tld is resolvable to correct IP address with

# host core.domain.tld

at least. If it is ok, go to https://core.domain.tld:8443 and check how it goes on.

 

[PluginDB]

I always enter the site via https://core.domain.tld:8443

This is the shell output:

root@core:~# host core.plugindb.de core.plugindb.de has address 84.200.222.54
root@core:~#

And it is the correct ip

I see Plesk login page when I go to https://core.plugindb.de:8443
What is wrong with it?

 

[PluginDB]

https://check-host.net/ip-info?host=core.plugindb.de

As you can see, the host name is admin.plugindb.de

Look at DNS zone of your domain plugindb.de:


# dig axfr plugindb.de @dns.dns1.de

; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-38.el7_3.1 <<>> axfr plugindb.de @dns.dns1.de
;; global options: +cmd
plugindb.de. 86400 IN SOA dns.dns1.de. hostmaster.plugindb.de. 2017020401 28800 7200 604800 86400
*.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
core.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
imap.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
mail.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
plugindb.de. 300 IN MX 10 mail.plugindb.de.
plugindb.de. 300 IN NS dns.dns1.de.
plugindb.de. 300 IN NS dns.dns2.de.
plugindb.de. 300 IN NS dns.dns3.de.
plugindb.de. 300 IN NS dns.dns4.de.
server1.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.47
server2.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.113.78
server3.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.12
smtp.plugindb.de. 300 IN A 84.200.222.54
plugindb.de. 86400 IN SOA dns.dns1.de. hostmaster.plugindb.de. 2017020401 28800 7200 604800 86400

As you can see you have wildcard subdomain *.plugindb.de Therefore, any subdomain will be resolvable to 84.200.222.54 IP address. Even admin.plugindb.de:

# host admin.plugindb.de
admin.plugindb.de has address 84.200.222.54

# host hahaha.plugindb.de
hahaha.plugindb.de has address 84.200.222.54

# host tututututututu.plugindb.de
tututututututu.plugindb.de has address 84.200.222.54

Yes i know that i added a wildcard but i want to change the admin.plugindb.de hostname in the IP lookup...

 

[PluginDB]

The thing is, it stays on admin.plugindb.de and i want to change that. Admin was the hostname on installation

The hostname setting only can change into operative system.

WINDOWS

1. On your desktop, right-click Computer or My Computer and then select Properties.
2. In the next window, your computer name will be displayed under "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" or next to "Full computer name:"

LINUX

I dont know.

 

[PluginDB]

In linux its the hostname command or in /etc/hostname...

But that doesnt help or work at all
