Greetings,
I noticed this a while ago but it hit me again last night and I'd really
like to know what's causing it.
Say you've got a machine that's been up for an extended period of time
and during that period of time, you change the hostname of that machine.
No worries, simple enough, but further along the line, when you make
some changes to apache and restart that service, it fails. (And there's
nothing in the logs explaining why, which is incredibly frustrating!)
Thinking of what could've changed since the last time apache was
started, if you change your hostname back to what it was back in the day
and give the restart another go, it's all good.
My question is, what exactly is going on here? I've never noticed this
on any of my RH boxes so I'm thinking it's something with the apache
package shipped by Mandrake. Against what is apache checking its
current hostname when it's started?
Actually, I just noticed the same thing on my workstation in relation to
X. With the old hostname, X won't start (startx in runlevel 3), but as
soon as I change it back to the old hostname, it's happy and X starts
up.
What up?

My friends, I am here to tell you of the wonderous continent known as
Africa. Well we left New York drunk and early on the morning of February 31.
We were 15 days on the water, and 3 on the boat when we finally arrived in
Africa. Upon our arrival we immediately set up a rigorous schedule: Up at
6:00, breakfast, and back in bed by 7:00. Pretty soon we were back in bed by
6:30. Now Africa is full of big game. The first day I shot two bucks. That
was the biggest game we had. Africa is primerally inhabited by Elks, Moose
and Knights of Pithiests.
The elks live up in the mountains and come down once a year for their
annual conventions. And you should see them gathered around the water hole,
which they leave immediately when they discover it's full of water. They
weren't looking for a water hole. They were looking for an alck hole.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas, how he got in my
pajamas, I don't know. Then we tried to remove the tusks. That's a tough
word to say, tusks. As I said we tried to remove the tusks, but they were
imbedded so firmly we couldn't get them out. But in Alabama the Tuscaloosa,
but that is totally irrelephant to what I was saying.
We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed.
So we're going back in a few years...
