RE: [cobalt-users] Everything EXCEPT SSH is Dead - RaQ 4

["Peter Masloch" <peter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The information are stored in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
You can vi httpd.conf and look for the entry "servername".
Also look on the end of the .conf file where your server
has an virtualhost entry. Make sure that this entrys are
correct.
