check your httpd.conf file. I recall having to set the hostname in that conf file.

Hi,  I'm configuring a VPS at DigitalOcean and after installing Apache - yum install httpd, I try to start Apache with "service httpd start"  I get the following error:

Starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for host.domain.tld
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

If I issue "service httpd status" it returns "httpd (pid  1764) is running..."

I've searched the net and some suggest adding my FQDN to the hosts file.  Is this the correct answer and if so do I just add a line like : host.domain.tld 255.255.255.255 where 255.255.255.255 is the IP of the VPS?

Thank you so much for all your help!!

Keith
