RE: Linux OS help

see $ORA_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
don't know, if correct path. so make to go sure:
$ grep -ril  "your_old_hostname" /etc $ORA_HOME/admin
and after change
$ hostname -s your_hostname.at_your_domain

probably change /etc/hosts to
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
to
127.0.0.1	hostname.domain	hostnick	localhost.localdomain	localhost
x.x.x.x	hostname.domain	hostnick
# lan ip for x.x.x.x

( test to login after each step but hold one session open to change back
always )

restart apache
restart oracle

see if it works.
any other conf files out of /etc dir?

other way to hack if still problems is to insert a script in in your last
service.
see which services is last and then which fails after startup and make a
script like

#!/bin/bash
# file: my_post_startup
/etc/init.d/apache_script stop
/etc/init.d/oracle_script stop
hostname -s hostname.domain
/etc/init.d/oracle_script start
/etc/init.d/apache_script start

should work ..

good luck!
