RedHat 5.2

/**

 * Background information

I set my hostname to something other than localhost.  I made the

change in my /etc/hosts, and /etc/sysconfig/network files.

After this I started getting email to root@localhost.localdomain

telling me that there were errors rotating httpd/access_log log files.

Some helpful folks from this list helped me with different remedies,

but it turned out that httpd was not running.  The reason for this was

that it couldn't determine the hostname when it tried to start during

reboot.

/**

 * Questions

I obviously didn't do something correctly when changing the hostname.

What files do I need to change in order to successfully change my

hostname to something other than localhost.localdomain?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Rick Barter
