Ouch.  I'm sure you're right, but now all I get is:
Starting httpd:                                      [FAILED]

There's obviously something else I need to do.

Dumb question:  does it need to nslookup bonsaisoftware.com?  I've had the
name registered for a while, but it's not pointing anywhere yet and I'm
not running bind (or whatever), which I suspect might be another whole
can of worms.

Another point:  sometimes after I start httpd, and it uses 127.0.0.1, when
I do /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status, it says:
httpd dead but subsys locked

Thanks,
