Starting httpd

1. You haven't configured the apache properly - You should configure it with some real servername
2. But if don't want, then configure the /etc/hosts with following line
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

Hi ravenpl

I cant find a block in the httpd.conf for /etc/hosts

Edit /etc/hosts, make sure there is the line I provided.

I cant find the /etc/hosts block in my httpd.conf

[I cant find the /etc/hosts block in my httpd.conf]

And you wont

Here's what ravenpl told you:

1) "You haven't configured the apache properly - You should configure it with some real servername"

To do this open /etc/apache/httpd.conf and look for "#ServerName". Change this to ServerName  <www.yourdomain.name> (note yourdomain.name is a example and should be your real domain name)

2) "OR" configure "/etc/hosts" (this is a totally different file in your /etc/ directory) and add 127.0.0.1  localhost.localdomain localhost (only if it doesn't exist)

once one of these (or both) are done, start apache
