below is how I fixed the problem:

>Edit your /etc/hosts file to resemble the following example, replacing "12.34.56.78" with your Linode's IP address, "plato.bambookites.com" with your fully qualified domain name, and "plato" with your short hostname.

sudo nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
12.34.56.78 plato.bambookites.com plato

> THEN make sure that /etc/hostname is the same:

sudo nano /etc/hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
12.34.56.78 plato.bambookites.com plato

> THEN Set your hostname by issuing the following commands, replacing "plato" with your short hostname.
echo "plato" > /etc/hostname
hostname -F /etc/hostname
