#4682 changing the hostname and ssl redirect

[thedave]

I was using SSL and I changed the hostname of my machine. Now the SSL redirect url still shows the old hostname. I tried regenerating a new ssl cert but it still wants to redirect to the old name.

I see the miniserv.conf didn't update the hostname

By default Webmin tries to determine the hostname for your IP via a reverse lookup, which will read from either your /etc/hosts file or DNS. However, it can be overridden by the host= line in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

Thats probably why it failed, a reverse lookup probably wouldn't have
worked since I don't have a DNS service running but the hostname had been
updated with the new hostname.
