[Kolab-devel] kolab hostname: ips don't work?

OK, my situation was that this is on a dedicated server. You're probably 
right and I could have set my DNS-Server to the server's IP, but I was 
just used to not-use-domain-names because this of course was my test 
server and most domains were assigned to the productive system.

I really would not mind, say, setting my DNS-Server to my test server 
and then use something like www.usegroup.intranet or so, but this should 
be documented. As I said, the error sounds like "script error on line 
172 of /tmp/apache.sh" or so, where a "script error on line 172 of 
/tmp/apache.sh, please don't use IPs as server name, see 
http://www.kolabl.org/misc/dosanddonts.html" would just be more informative.
