Hey everyone, I was wondering if there was someone out there who might be able 
to help me out a little bit. I'm having a problem that's driving me nuts. I'm 
running a linux server (SuSE 8.1) that has mod_ssl pre-installed, but not 
setup. I've been trying to set it up and have gotten as far as creating a 
test certificate, but now I'm stumped with the FQHOSTNAME variable. 

((Here's what it says in the httpd.conf...
# NOTE: before you can enable this module, you need a server certificate.
# A test certificate can be created by entering
# 'cd /usr/share/doc/packages/mod_ssl; ./certificate.sh' as root.
# Also, you need to set the ServerName inside the <VirtualHost _default_:443>
# block to the fully qualified domain name
# (see $FQHOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network/config). ))

As it turns out my config file doesn't have the FQHOSTNAME variable at all. Is 
it in another associated file maybe? I've been all over the web and while I 
can find plenty about mod-ssl, I've found next to nothing about writing my 
own FQHOSTNAME variable. I'm still not all that fluent in scripting unix code 
so I'm at a bit of a loss. If anyone knows how I can create/find/configure 
this variable, I'd really appreciate the help. I'm setup to use the YaST2 
config system as well as direct coding to the files, if that helps at all. 

Thanks.
