I am running an nginx website on a virtual host and I am trying to set up iRedMail, but this is the error I get when running bash iRedMail.sh.

< ERROR > Please configure a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in /etc/hosts before we go further.

etc/sysconfig/network file

NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mail.website1.com

etc/hosts file (xxx.xx.xxx.xxx is my real server ip address) 

127.0.0.1 mail.website1.com mail localhost ::1 localhost xxx.xx.xxx.xxx website1.com xxx.xx.xxx.xxx website2.com

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Edit: Still coming up with this error.

< ERROR > Please configure a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in /etc/hosts before we go further.

Example:

127.0.0.1 mail.iredmail.org mail localhost

This is my new config file:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 xxx.xx.xxx.xxx website1.com xxx.xx.xxx.xxx mail.website1.com mail xxx.xx.xxx.xxx website2.com

Your /etc/hosts file should have a separate line defining the system's IP and fully-qualified domain name and the short name on the same line. Remove the "mail.website1.com" and "mail" from the line with 127.0.0.1.

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 10.2.0.6 mail.website1.com mail

Make this change and attempt again.

  • Okay, I will do that. I also noticed that nowhere is website1.com listed on its own. Won't that cause any issues? Commented Jul 12, 2014 at 15:48

    What you have for website1.com and website2.com is fine. I was just trying to get you past your mail configuration Commented Jul 12, 2014 at 15:50
  • Hello, I still get the error as before, and I have edited my post. I read the link you attached - and are you suggesting I change the HOSTNAME to something else and replace all localdomain's with the hostname? Commented Jul 12, 2014 at 16:03
  • The HOSTNAME variable should probably just be "mail". You'd need to restart the network service; service network restart following that. You may also just reboot. Either way. Don't touch any of the localhost/localdomain entries. Commented Jul 12, 2014 at 16:06
