It was specificly chosen to illustrate why apache emits that error message, and what you can do to fix the problem: """ If no ServerName is specified, then the server attempts to deduce the hostname by performing a reverse lookup on the IP address. """ So it tries to do a PTR (reverse) lookup for your IP, 192.168.1.5, which obviously doesn't return correctly, and so apache emits the error. So to fix it, you must supply a ServerName (in the main config, not a vhost) which apache can resolve. To make sure apache can resolve it, simply add the hostname to /etc/hosts Eg, if your server is called 'bob', then put 'ServerName bob' in the apache config, and add a line '192.168.1.5 bob' to /etc/hosts.
