come to think of it, the easiest way to solve your problem is to add
your hostname (short name) to the /etc/hosts file on the 127.0.0.1 line.

Often times messing with your host name could mess up virtual hosting. 
OTher than that, it's no big deal if you call your computer localhost or
something else.  Putting the name as an alias for localhost in
/etc/hosts will always make it work, though.
