Where is the "OTRS_CONFIG_FQDN" set? I have set it in
otrs/Kernal/Config.pm and in ZZZAuto.pm but the real FQDN never appears
in any responses.

Please?
I’ve got hours on this thing!

The fastest way to find it is to search the sysconfig for FQDN

What did you set exactly? And what do you get? Nothing, http:///? Nils Breunese.

Thanks! The problem is that the change is not being saved and I dont know what file is used to define "Core".

The easiest way to change the FQDN, is to change it in SysConfig ->
Framework -> Core (without having to edit config files manually)
SysConfig is accessible via web interface, in the Admin Area.

Thank you!
The problem is that it doesn't save...
After making the change in sysconfig/framework/core/FQDN and then click
"Update" at the bottom of the page, the page then refreshes to have
"fc4" in the FQDN field and not what I changed to. Under the FQDN field
the default is my actual FQDN (DEFAULT: helpdesk.domainname.com)

uses the FQDN that you set as the value of $Self-> {'FQDN'} in ~otrs/Kernel/Config.pm (or using SysConfig you can set it under Framework -> Core). I have set it in otrs/Kernal/Config.pm and in ZZZAuto.pm but the real FQDN never appears in any responses.

It is also set in ZZAuto.pm

Ignore if you've already checked this but... can the file Config.pm be written to by the Apache/Perl process/user? Have you tried modifying other values to see if they get updated? Steve

What is the actual FQDN of the system itself? It could be that somewhere OTRS is picking up the actual sytem's FQDN. I'm not a Fedora user myself, I use Gentoo, so not sure how you get/configure the FQDN on Fedora. Steve Sanson, Rick wrote:

Under Fedora to set the FQDN of the system you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network e.g.
cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=myhost.example.com

Pass, not too sure, have you thought about upgrading to a newer version of fedora? just incase there is some bug/issue with that particular version of fedora, not sure how many (if any) others are using FC4 for their OTRS installations. Steve

FC5 is went EOL a couple of weeks ago, so if Rick is really still running FC4 it might be time to upgrade, yeah. Still that shouldn't keep him from setting his FQDN. I also have no idea why the change won't stick. Have you tried enabling verbose logging? Maybe the logs will show something interesting. Nils Breunese.

Thank you guys! This installation is a VM that came from VMware's repository and was built buy unknown. I am Linux savvy so I'll do as Steve Carr suggests and rebuild as these symptoms make no sense. I really used the VM to do some evaluation work anyway, have decided to go with OTRS and need to implement a more production-like server anyway. This cannot be that hard and the FQDN is defined in the place where all indications point; Config.pm. I do intend to restore this setup just to see if the OS had any impact on the FQDN issue (I doubt it).

Thank you guys!
This installation is a VM that came from VMware's repository and was built buy unknown.
I am Linux savvy so I'll do as Steve Carr suggests and rebuild as these symptoms make no sense. I really used the VM to do some evaluation work anyway, have decided to go with OTRS and need to implement a more production-like server anyway. This cannot be that hard and the FQDN is defined in the place where all indications point; Config.pm.
I do intend to restore this setup just to see if the OS had any impact on the FQDN issue (I doubt it).
Thank you all!

Pass, not too sure, have you thought about upgrading to a newer version of fedora? just incase there is some bug/issue with that particular version of fedora, not sure how many (if any) others are using FC4 for their OTRS installations.
FC5 is went EOL a couple of weeks ago, so if Rick is really still running FC4 it might be time to upgrade, yeah. Still that shouldn't keep him from setting his FQDN. I also have no idea why the change won't stick. Have you tried enabling verbose logging? Maybe the logs will show something interesting.

Thanks! And I said I was Linux savvy... The kernel.domainname = none The FQDN that keeps popping up (for hours and hours!) is fc4 We sure learn a lot finding the answer to these things don't we! I think that is what drives us as technologists...

He is talking about sysctl (a commandline tool not related to OTRS), not about SysConfig in OTRS. I have never needed to use sysctl to get this to work though. Nils Breunese,

Did you try setting the domain name in the kernel settings also? You can look at the kernel.domainname setting using sysctl.

You can set the kernel.domainname in linux by "sysctl -w kernel.domainname=<the domain>". That is without the <> of course. Linux is a bit touchy. Typically is the domain name is not setup during installation you have to jump through hoops to get it to work. I imagine that you set the domain name in the hosts file and in the resolv.conf file. They all work together. -----Original Message----- From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Sanson, Rick Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 11:02 AM To: otrs Subject: RE: No-one has setup the FQDN???
