Always the same error during restarting apache If you restart your Apache webserver, you could get the following error message: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName The reason is because your netwerk is not completly setup properly. -Check if your hostname is set in /etc/hostname -Check if your domainname is set in /etc/resolv.conf And the final trick: Put in your /etc/hosts file the next line: IP-addres fully-quallified-hostname small-hostname Do not swap the fully-quallified-hostname and the small-hostname, because Apache only looks at the first entry and that one should be the fully quallified hostname So for example, for me it will become: 192.168.1.1 scrat.sciuro.org scrat Restart your apache and the message is gone.
