it seems NOT right to change a hostname for a VPS server, i don't know if it's just me or it's a common problem for plesk VPS, just to confirm with you:

when i changed my VPS's hostname, then httpd stopped running, so i go to check error log and found sth like :

QUOTE

7537 [Mon Apr 17 20:16:10 2006] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `plesk' does NOT match server name!?
7610 [Mon Apr 17 21:39:47 2006] [alert] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "new.host.name"

later on, i rebooted the whole node, httpd resumed working right after the reboot, and the content in /etc/hosts were recovered back with ev1's host name.

interesting.

I asked EV1 to change my hostname and they did, so now when I reboot the vps the hostname doesn't switch back.

As to the pleask error, I can't help you there as I deleted plesk and installed cpanel
