Apache not responding after hostname change - help?

I changed the hostname on my new server and I get this error, and now Apache doesn't respond:

Code:
Starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for bigmetal.ryd0.com
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
So being smart, I said fuck it and changed the hostname back. But Apache is now not responding at all. Dead. Checking logs, Apache isn't even getting called.

I changed it from bigmetal.ryd2.com to bigmetal.ryd0.com (then back to bigmetal.ryd2.com hoping it would fire up again)

I've googled this, and made all the fixes I found in other forums, none of them have brought it back to life.

Maybe I don't understand what the hostname really does...I am using Webmin, and CentOS 5.4. This is a new installation, and there are no websites on the server yet.

Any ideas? What tests can I run to troubleshoot this?
