Hello ,

I get this every day in my mail, what is wrong??

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (server1.domain.com) resolves to . It should resolve to xx.xx.xx.xx. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.

Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.

You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager

can u What i am missing??

Thanks
Tejas

Hi Tejas,

I guess you are using whm/cpanel on your server and this is related to hostname lookup. There are few things you can try

Code:

1. make an A entry in your DNS server for that server server1.domain.com with that mapping IP 
2. Check your hostname and make it same as that server1.domain.com
3. edit /etc/hosts file and put that server1.domain.com with it's IP

I hope this will fix the issue.

Thank you
Manish
