Greetings,

Make sure that you are changing the correct file. I have seen cases where there
were two ServerRoot directories and the files were getting changed in one, but
HTTPD was using another. Run "ps aux | grep httpd" or check /etc/rc.d./init.d to
see what directory HTTPD is using. The source off the net puts in /usr/local/httpd
(I believe), Caldera has it in /home/httpd and others have it in /etc/httpd.
(anywhere else?)

The other thing is that the server may be telling the truth. Can you ping/telnet
to the name specified by ServerName. It may be listed as machine.domain.com, but
your /etc/hosts file just the machine name, without the domain.

Regards,

jimmo
