I can't figure out why apache2 won't load correctly. Here is the output of 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart':
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Stopping apache2 ...
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
httpd (no pid file) not running [ ok ]
* Starting apache2 ...
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [ ok ] |
There is no result yielded from 'ps aux | grep apache' or 'ps aux | grep http'.
Here is the result of 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest':
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest
* Checking apache2 configuration ... [ ok ] |
And finally, 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload':
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
* Gracefully restarting apache2 ...
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
httpd not running, trying to start [ !! ] |
No results from http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost either.
My /etc/hosts contains the line:
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 gentoo localhost |
|

I don't think that's a good enough /etc/hosts
you will need some sort of FQDN, example
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 mybox.at.myplace mybox localhost |
what is the output of | Code: | | grep -i hostname /etc/conf.d/hostname |
what is the output of |

In that case I'm not sure what a "good enough" /etc/hosts would consist of with a FQDN. I want to set the machine up locally, nothing special for remote access. Would that be gentoo.localdomain?
Output of grep -i hostname /etc/conf.d/hostname:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ grep -i hostname /etc/conf.d/hostname
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="gentoo" |
Output of hostname -f:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ hostname -f
gentoo.localdomain |
(I edited /etc/hosts to be 127.0.0.1 gentoo.localdomain gentoo localhost)
Is "gentoo" a reserved word that cannot be used for host names? |

Anybody have any ideas? I would like to get this working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've set up Apache with MySQL/PHP before.
I am almost certain my problem lies with the configuration of my /etc/hosts and possibly my httpd.conf, except I'm a bit unsure what would be correct. Apache does not complain while starting up or with configtest, but a fullstatus test does return this error:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ... [ ok ]
isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest
* Checking apache2 configuration ... [ ok ]
isaias@gentoo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 fullstatus
Looking up localhost
Making HTTP connection to localhost
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status
|
I am only going to be using Apache locally; I've read about FQDN's but I don't have one of those, so I'm uncertain if I should consider my domain "localdomain". |

edit /etc/apache2/http.conf
somewhere in there add a line like:
| Code: |
ServerName gentoo.local
|
then see if you can start apache.
if that fails, edit httpd.conf (same path as before), and comment out this line:
| Code: |
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
|
by putting a # in front of it
| Code: |
#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
|
then see if you can start apache

Neither of those solutions worked. I've noticed that when I Alt+Ctrl+F1 out of my Gnome session, the login screen will say "This is gentoo.unknown_domain". Changing what my domain is /etc/hosts has no effect, e.g.:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 gentoo.localdomain gentoo localhost
|
will not change my domain to "localdomain", as the output of domainname is "(none)".
I'm not sure if Apache needs a domain to function correctly. I've tried combinations of ServerName gentoo, ServerName gentoo.localdomain, ServerName gentoo.local, all to no avail in /etc/apache/httpd.conf.
It seems as if Apache is mostly working except for this bit about host/domain being set up right. |
