Re: Apache won't run

Hi Bob > I've used Julie Meloni's instructions for installing Apache before, > and everything went fine. This time, Apache won't run. It gives me > the "cannot determine local host name." message and tells me to set > the ServerName directive. Are you trying to use a hostname or an IP address? If you have no DNS server available to you, set the ServerName to either you machines IP address or "127.0.0.1" (loacalhost). With a DNS server available to you, you can use a Fully Qualified Domain Name else IP only. <snipped> > ...so I think I should be able to get Apache to run also. I agree. My setup is Apache 1.3.12, with PHP 4.02. It works. I can get Apache to resolve my local machine and a dynamic host name. If you need further help, feel free to email me. Read the section in the Apache manual about VHOSTS. > Bob Hall > Know thyself?
