&quot;Unable to qualify my own domain name <server alias> -- using short name .&quot;


Would anyone know how to prevent this !!

The shortest and easiest way is to add it to /etc/hosts:

MyIpAddy mydomain

Their will be other entries in their just follow along with the others.

The other way is to make sure your alias is in you DNS server.
