| It might have something to do with naming your machine in /etc/hosts (i.e. 127.0.1.1 localhost server.name), but I don't remember for sure. |

Yes. I believe that this is a problem with your /etc/hosts file.
You should have something like this:
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 yourserver.yourdomain yourserver localhost

Hi,
I had the same problem (apache claiming that no servername found).
After configuring the machine name, apache didn't start either.
But after having an entry like
IP-Addr FullHostName HostName
in my /etc/hosts apache started without problems.
Thanks a lot!!! |
