Hello,

Check your DNS server if you have access to it and change the name/IP combination to reflect the changes you've performed on your RedHat system. Then try again.

Kind regards,

Eric

That's why it's not working. You have to configure your DNS server because you changed the hostname of your server and most likely it's not getting updated to your DNS.

Kind regards,

Eric
