Greetings all, I always have a annoying message when I tried to start the apache httpd: "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" but actually I have the directive: "ServerName hostname" in my virtual host config file, and I have the DNS record for the hostname pointing to 127.0.0.1, if I move the line to apache.conf, then this message disappears. Could anybody tell me why? thanks. Deephay --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
