OK - Thanks so much guys for sticking with me on this. The problem isn't so
much that I didn't know how to restart the server, as that it was giving me
errors, and refusing to serve.

So, after some research, I've located the adm_error file and it gives the
following error hourly:

[alert] mod_unique_id: unable to
gethostbyname("ns0.mydomain.com.ns0.mydomain.com")

So - I figure that I've got my server named wrong, right? And that I've got
to change it from my name server name to one of my domain names? And that to
do that, I'm going to need to edit, probably to my detriment, my httpd.conf
file - am I right?

Any hints as to which entries I need to alter? Am I playing with too much
fire here? Are there just too many other inter-related files to do this by
hand?

I have never been able to access this server by name - only by internal IP,
but just this past weekend I signed up for external DNS hosting from
zoneedit, and I got my first administrator e-mails yesterday! So I think
that I'm getting on the right path there.
