Sorry, I don't have such a line in /etc/hosts.conf. What is the syntax I 
should use?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
or
localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1
or
??

Bizarre. The logs showed many errors, all the same, complaining:

[Sun Feb 15 17:37:47 2004] [notice] LDAP: Built with OpenLDAP LDAP SDK
[Sun Feb 15 17:37:47 2004] [notice] LDAP: SSL support unavailable
[Sun Feb 15 17:37:47 2004] [alert] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: 
mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "skip"
Configuration Failed

Then, on Monday, the last entry says:

I saw the "resuming normal operations" and thought, hmmm... Sure enough, I 
tried and suddenly httpd is running again. Shrug. That's seriously weird.

> apachectl -t or with parameter -S

[trevor at localhost /]$ /usr/sbin/apachectl -t
Syntax error on line 127 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not exist 
or is empty

('/usr/sbin/apachectl -S' produces the same result.)
