Hi Aaron,
Okay I have the hosts set up now. Like I said they are going to be running
on the same machine. Also just out of curiosity say you have a certain port
like my Cms(Content Management System) runs on 8080 does this need to be
present in the hosts file or am I just telling the computer okay you will
act as these machines. My educated guess is that I am just telling the
machine okay you will be these servers but I just want to make sure I know
what I am doing here. This is the first time I have mucked with the hosts
file.
Once more just to make sure I am following your advice I will send out the
hosts file. I apologize if I am very careful but I worked on Windows
machines for almost 20 years and now just really getting my feet wet so to
speak with Linux. I do have some basic knowledge of Linux and do read if I
need to or if I can understand it.

i a"aron,
What I am wanting to do here and I hope I have accomplished this here
is
that Pilotalk has the web server, email and it will have bugzill and
also
svn capability on it. So what I want is the machine to be called
pilotalk.com and the mail server to be mail.pilotalk.com. With the
router
address of 192.168.1.102 is this going to foul things up or is it
better to
call it 127.0.0.1? Also in where it says localhost.localdomain can
that
actually be changed to pilotalk.com in the first line of the hosts
file?
Againhere is the current hosts file.
Despite support for your hosts file, to me it is wrong.
The :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
line is required and you should not muck with it.
Putting the other names and ip addresses in your host files is the way
to go. You can also put a HOSTNAME in the /etc/sysconfig/network
file. However, what you machine will be called when accessed from
another machine is the job of the DNS records on the DNS server you are
using.
