Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name

  1. sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
  2. Insert the following line at the httpd.conf: ServerName localhost
  3. Just restart the Apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Yes, you should set ServerName:

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#servername

You can find information on the layouts used by the various httpd distributions here:

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout

In your case the file to edit is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


I was NOT getting the ServerName wrong. Inside your VirtualHost configuration that is causing this warning message, it is the generic one near the top of your httpd.conf which is by default commented out.

Change

#ServerName www.example.com:80

to:

  ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
