Change hostname from http://matrixdemo.squiz.net/

(Maneesh Prakash) #1

I have installed the 5.4 VM and want to change the host name to something else. I am guessing this gets done in the webserver config. I am not sure what web server is used and what the location of the config files are. Has anyone manage to change the VM hostname?

Thanks

To change the vm itself you need to edit

/etc/sysconfig/network

and reboot after that, although not strictly necessary though. You
could just run:

hostname my.new-domain.com

and obviously fill it in with the right domain name.

If you want to change matrix, you don’t need to touch openresty or
anything else.

Just add the new domain to /var/www/matrix/data/private/conf/main.inc
and adjust all the urls like normal.

Hope that helps.

Hi Bart,

Thank for that info. I have been able to change the hostname on the server and in matrix. I did forget to ask if you knew how I can add a listen port such as 8080.

Thanks again.

I think I found it

/etc/openresty/conf.d/matrixdemo.conf

add line :
listen 8085;
