I'm not clear why a domain name is needed though. In httpd.conf, the
instructions indicate that if you don't have a domain name, to use the
IP address. I've done that before in a Debian distro for an m68k Mac,
so in theory at least, I know it works,
Also, should I delete the localhost IP in the /etc/hosts file?
