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 : 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.
