Sorry, I just saw I wrote /etc/hosts.conf by mistake. It is /etc/hosts
which look at least this:

$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost


The line starting with 127.0.0.1 is very important! Sorry for confusing
you.

Without SSL certificates HTTPS will not run. Seems you installed RPMs on
your system with beating the dependencies. Did you use "rpm --nodeps"?
The SSL certs/key are part of package mod_ssl-2.0.48-1.2. Did you
manually remove things by accident? Looks really weird. Either your
harddrive is dieing or you did some crazy things.
