Hi

I installed ArcGIS 10.1 for Server. After that I needed to change the host name. But after changing when
I tried to join a site then a error message shows with the previous name(cannot find the old name local server)
Then I uninstall the server and re-install it. Still it says cannot find the local server with the old name. I dont know
where its getting the old name.

Can someone tell me what to do...


Thanks
Naym

What's the exact error message? What happens if, instead of join a site you create a site?


Add Both Physical machine's   IP address and Host name in the 'hosts' file which is located under the following location.
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc. See if that helps. If still a problem, try installing SP1. SP1 fixes a lot of bugs.
