Re: apache not starting: FreeBSd 5.4
It seems to be a pure problem of hostname. I have now given the hostname 'cathy.alfa.net' in my '/etc/hosts' and '/etc/rc.conf' file. The contens os both the files are as under: Here 192.168.1.14 is the ip of the machine running apache. The output of /etc/rc.conf file is confusing me because it lists the hostname more than once. /etc/hosts--> --- ::1 localhost.alfanet.com localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.alfanet.com localhost 192.168.1.14cathy.alfa.net /etc/rc.conf---> ~ ~ ~ :q!

It is not a host name, it is an e-mail address. If it is just an
internet host name, try something like cathy.alfa.local ie without the
@.

RE: apache not starting: FreeBSd 5.4
yes you are wrong. Read this
Assigning a Host name to your FBSD system.
Your FBSD operating system has internal software applications (like
sendmail for one) that needs to know the fully qualified domain name
of the PC it's running on. You do this by adding the option
statement hostname= to /etc/rc.conf.
This is the format to use.
thisPCname.fakeDOMAINname.tld
Where thisPCname came be any name you want to identify this
particular PC on your LAN. Since the goal of this Installation Guide
is to build a FBSD gateway server, the name of this PC should be
gateway.
Where .fakeDOMAINname can be any name you want as long as it's not a
registered domain name on the public Internet (unless of course it's
registered to you). Using FBSDyourlastname is a safe fake domain
name to use here. So if your name was Tom Jones, you should use
fbsdjones.
Where .tld can be any of the standard TLD's currently in use. Such
as .com or .usa or .info or .cc, but since .com is the most commonly
used TLD, I recommend using .com.
gateway.fbsdjones.com is a very acceptable fake host name to use.
ee /etc/rc.conf
and add this option statement to the file:
hostname="gateway.fbsdjones.com"
Save the changed file and reboot your system for your edit changes
to take effect.
When the reboot stops at the login prompt, the line displayed just
above it will now contain your host name you just added to rc.conf.
Installer Note: If you have an official registered domain name that
you want to use for your email sendmail server, then use that in the
hostname= statement. Example, if my registered domain name was
cyberman.com then hostname=cyberman.com is what I would code.
What ever hostname you use, for example gateway.fbsdjones.com, in
the httpd.conf file you would use www.fbsdjones.com and you will
also have to add gateway.fbsdjones.com and fbsdjones.com to
/etc/hosts file because you have no private dns server.

type "hostname" in a shell.

If having an @ in a hostname isn't illegal, it ought to be. I can't be
bothered to start searching the RFCs for you, but I fail to see how it
can be legal since it would make email address parsing pretty much
impossible; possibly URLs as well. Try cathyatalfa.alfanet.com or
cathy-at-alfa.alfanet.com, though the atalfa/at-alfa seems pretty
redundant given the rest of the domain.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a email address not a web server name.

This is a n00b here,
#apachectl configtest

httpd-error.log reports:
Mon May 1 00:48:28 2006] [alert] mod_unique_id:

I am not able to understand what the problem is
ServerName 127.0.0.1 (this line is uncommented)
Listen 192.168.1.14:80 (This line commented or
uncommented does not alter
the error:
Error remains :
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be

I am going to use apache for the local intranet. It
looks as if the host name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" has
to be changed.
Please help solve the problem
