The way I set it up was I gave me computer name a hostname and a domainname
that wasn't from the Internet, but from internal use.
Edit httpd.conf and search for servername, put your fake hostname dot fake
domain name dot com like (for example) in your httpd.conf
ServerName linuxbox1.network.com
Setup your hostname and domainname with the commands of the same name.
After that restart the httpd
ps -ef | grep httpd
Find the httpd proc with the lowest PID number then run the command
kill -HUP PID
There is also a script in the bin directory for apache called `apachectl` (only
for 1.3.9) which can restart the httpd for you
`/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart`
or wherever you or your distro install apache to.
man hostname; man domainname
