Changing server hostname/ip will not change name on Status Page

Post by IceManNCSU »

To recreate...

1) Add a server to the application with any hostname/ip you wish, click save when done.
2) Go to the Status page and confirm its there.
3) Go back to the server configuration page and make a change to the hostname/ip and click save.
4) Go to the Status page and you will see the name is the one from the original entry not the updated one.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
The name of the server is initially derived from the host name,
but it's not changed afterwards.
This is to enable using multiple accounts on the same server,
which isn't possible with 0.5.6.
Also, the name is used as a key to keeping byte counters.
