How to change hostname after install?

I am trying to change the hostname and followed these instructions from a separate ticket: > You can change your hostname pretty easily by yourself. Just edit your /etc/hostname, add new name and IP in /etc/hosts and restart 'hostname' with '/etc/init.d/hostname restart' command. The restart command did not work, so I just restarted the Gluu service. Now when I run hostname, it shows the new name as expected. Unfortunately, when I navigate to the new hostname in the browser, it redirects to the old hostname (https://ce.gluu.info/oxauth/authorize?..) and I can't login. Is there an easy way to correct this, or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

That previous ticket was showing how you can change the hostname of your VM, not Gluu Server. As for example, you install your Gluu Server with 'abc.company.com' and your computer's 'hostname' command showing 'ce.gluu.info', in this you can change the hostname of your 'computer' easily. For your purpose, you need uninstall and re-install your Gluu Server with new hostname.

yes, the hostname is in a bunch of places. Don't mess around... just re-install.
