A number of functions in Sympl use the servers hostname to determine it's defaults, such as emails sent to unix users, the default fallback site for any unmatched sites, and the default SSL certificates used for things like Email and FTP connections.
This means that properly changing the server hostname can be tricky, and missing one or more elements can cause odd problems later on.
Functionality for properly changing the hostname will be included in Sympl at a future date, however the following will need to be updated:
- System hostname
/etc/hosts
/etc/ssl/ssl.*
/etc/hostname
/etc/mailname
