You need to do both lines. The "::1" line is for IPv6, and the "127. .."
one is for IPv4.

You can add "zappy" to the other lines, but I'd actually put zappy in at
the IP address you gave it w/ dhcp.

Zapping the duplicate line wouldn't hurt.

No, the problem is I bet appache's using IPv4, and you adjusted the IPv6
entry.

No, it should work.

Oh, you aren't logging in as root, are you? That is disabled by default in
ssh.

Make a user account for you, and use that. I do that on all of my
machines, even ones I'm the only person who uses. Keeps "accidents" from
happening; most of the system you can only touch if you first su.

Take care,
