Got a new cPanel server 1 week ago. Two days ago, I started getting this from up2date and 4 times in the daily upcp email. The server's ip is NOT 216.40.250.20 as it says below.



root@server [~]# up2date
Traceback (most recent call last):

When I first got the server, the /etc/hosts file was:
cpanel.ev1servers.net cpanel
127.0.0.1 localhost
216.40.250.20 cpanel.ev1servers.net

now changed to:
66.xx.xxx.xx server.xxx.net server plain.rackshack.net plain
127.0.0.1 localhost

What is your hostname?

why do you need to know?

Because I suspect it is still 'plan.rackshack.net'.

I changed the hostname in cpanel after i got the server.


root@server [~]# hostname
server.xxx.net

I would prefer to keep the actual domain private.
