Yes.  The netstat you report looks fine to me, as far as it goes.  The
https is for http via SSL, for secure connections.  http is the
regular http connection.  Since SSL is involved, you can't do both on
the same port, so you need to listen for two different ports.

What command are you using to start Apache?  Where is the [FAILED]
message reported, on that useless Red Hat boot screen?  On my (Debian)
system, there is no /var/log/httpd; instead Apache keeps its logs in
/var/log/apache/ (there are three, access.log, error.log, and
suexec.log).

Oh.  That's probably /etc/hostname.

Yep.

No.  The kernel does something to find out what it is, typically look
in /etc/hostname, but then it is kept in an internal buffer for later
reference.
