Hi,

I emerged apache and webmin and I cannot get apache to work.

I started it out of webmin then this error occurs:

Failed to start apache :

/sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: DocumentRoot: command not found
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 2: ServerAdmin: command not found
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 3: ServerName: command not found
* Starting apache2...apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[ !! ]

When I try to start it from a terminal with /etc/init.d/apache2 start
this occurs:

* Starting apache...
[Sun Nov 23 16:39:37 2003] [alert] apache: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [ !! ]

Where could be the error?

See this page for information on the ServerName directive. Very likely Apache is unable to resolve the fully qualified domain name. This directive should usually be set. At a bare minimum, your hostname should resolve with your /etc/hosts file.

HTH.
