It sounds like Apache just can't resolve the hostname. One thing you could do is edit the /etc/hosts file and add "127.0.0.1 hostname.com". Since resolving a hostname will check /etc/hosts first, this should eliminate the issue. Mind you, the reason you get this even tho you specify the DNS in the virtual host config is because Apache is processing both the Apache config values for ServerName AND the Virtual Host config values for ServerName. ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau -----Original Message----- From: Deephay [mailto:tudoxxx@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 10:38 PM To: users-httpd Subject: determine FQDN problem 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.
