I installed apache
Code:
*  www-servers/apache
      Latest version available: 2.4.18
      Latest version installed: 2.4.18
      Size of files: 5,084 KiB
      Homepage:      http://httpd.apache.org/
      Description:   The Apache Web Server
      License:       Apache-2.0 Apache-1.1


now I can not start apache
Code:
msh@duyinthee ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Password:
 * Starting apache2 ...
AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for duyinthee
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/apache2'                                                                         [ !! ]
 * ERROR: apache2 failed to start


I added "ServerName localhost" to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file and start again but still not work saying
Code:
 msh@duyinthee ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/apache2'                                                                         [ !! ]
 * ERROR: apache2 failed to start



my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file is here:
Code:
# This is a modification of the default Apache 2.4 configuration file

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "var/log/apache2/foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/var/log/apache2/foo.log".

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
# Comment: The LockFile directive has been replaced by the Mutex directive
ServerRoot "/usr/lib64/apache2"

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
# GENTOO: Automatically defined based on APACHE2_MODULES USE_EXPAND variable.
#         Do not change manually, it will be overwritten on upgrade.
#
# The following modules are considered as the default configuration.
# If you wish to disable one of them, you may have to alter other
# configuration directives.

# Supplemental configuration
#
# Most of the configuration files in the /etc/apache2/modules.d/ directory can
# be turned on using APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2 to add extra features
# or to modify the default configuration of the server.
#
# To know which flag to add to APACHE2_OPTS, look at the first line of the
# the file, which will usually be an <IfDefine OPTION> where OPTION is the
# flag to use.
Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf

# Virtual-host support
#
# Gentoo has made using virtual-hosts easy. In /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ we
# include a default vhost (enabled by adding -D DEFAULT_VHOST to
# APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2).
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf

# vim: ts=4 filetype=apache

ServerName localhost


thanks in advance for any help.

You will need to post some logs, what for example is the output of the following as Root?

Code:
cat /var/log/apache2/error_log


EDIT vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf would be the place to set "ServerName localhost" not https.conf

Now it works.
Honestly I sometime am very stupid. I should reboot my machine if every measure of troubleshooting doesn't work.
Today I installed and start apache at office in failure. Then shutdown computer and come back home.
When back home, start computer and start apache.
Bingo! it works without any touch to any configuration file.

Thanks for reply.

"ServerName localhost" is already in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhosts.conf file.
if I remove "ServerName localhost" from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, the message
Code:
AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for duyinthee
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

came back. So I have no idea what is what. Just still testing and checking.

BTW:
Code:
msh@duyinthee ~ $ sudo cat /var/log/apache2/error_log

last line must be message of successfully start of apache2. Share me if there is any message worth to note in there.

Same here. I'm going to keep it in httpd.conf for now unless I find a better method. Thanks for the rest of the troubleshooting, BTW, I found it helpful!
