I'm having a strange problem on startup:

When the machine gets to the line output to the screen which says "Starting
sendmail:"  it sits and grinds for a verrry long time.  Then it moves on with
the remark "httpd cannot determine local host name, use ServerName directive."

I've tried without success to figure out what the "ServerName directive" is. 
Neither man ServerName or apropos ServerName comes up with anything.

Once the machine is fully booted, I (as su) go to the directory where I've
installed Apache (my own installation in a directory which emulates that at my
ISP, not the Redhat default) and use ./apachectl start httpd to start Apache
without any difficulty.

By the way, sendmail seems to work just fine.

Suggested solutions?

Cheers!

P.S.  I have Redhat 6.2 installed on a Pentium 90.  This is an upgrade
installation done over a Redhat 5.1 installation.  I'm only able to use this
system sporadically, not having had time to devote to really
learning it well enough to make it an effective tool for me.  I've done quite a
bit of hacking about trying to make this or that work; and I know I've messed up
a number of bits of the configuration, without knowing which, or how to fix
them.
