In Apache's httpd.conf file.
do a search for `ServerName'
You should find at least once instance of it under "Section 2"
if you Virtually host other domains (virtual or real ip's)
you have to specify the ServerName within the VirtualHost
ie
#domain.com
<VirtualHost 123.456.789.123>
ServerAdmin dude@dude1.com
DocumentRoot /home/dude/public_html
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
ServerName domain.com
ErrorLog /home/dude/public_html/logs/domain-error_log
CustomLog /home/dude/public_html/logs/domain-access_log COMBINED
ErrorDocument 500 /error/500-errdoc.php
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404-errdoc.php
ErrorDocument 403 /error/403-errdoc.php
ErrorDocument 401 /error/401-errdoc.php
</VirtualHost>
#end
If you're using ip-less virtual hosting, then you'll need to
use the NameVirtualHost directive too =)
It's a line before your <VirtualHost> directives that goes
#nameVirtHost
NameVirtualHost 123.456.789.123
#end
Hope that helped..
