I am running Mandrake 7.1 on a stand alone pc that I use to link up to the internet via modem but is not networked to any other pc. For costmetic reasons (the name appears in a variety of process and memory monitors) I decided to change my hostname to jeff_PC.home rather than hostname.localdomain. After several attempts to do so using the command "hostname", both as a user and as root I found the changes did not stick after a re-login. I then used DrakeConf/Linuxconf/Networking/Basic Host information and this did change it in a fashion that stuck after relogging in. Problem: Now on bootup, when I get to the screen of "OKs", I get an error message: "Starting httpd: cannot locate local server name. - Failed" And on shutdown: "failure on shutting down http" and leaves my external modem in a strange lights configuration. What have I done wrong and how do I fix this. Thanks. -- Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux User 348854
