How to fix WHM “The hostname must be a Fully Qualified Domain Name”

Description

On a WHM server, you might get a message such as the following:

The hostname must be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

Ensure you have a proper hostname in this format computername.domainname.com

If you have migrated your computer you might also get that message.

To fix the problem, run this WHM utility as root:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
