 |
|
ok, so i installed apache2 without a problem at all and then i ran | Code: | | /etc/init.d/apache2 start |
and it at first gives an error stating that | Code: | | apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName |
and then i go into /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf and uncoment the "servername localhost" line and then when i run /etc/init.d/apache2 start it seems to start and only says starting apache2 but then i cannot connect to localhost i get a connection refused. i was thinking that ther server might not be started and when i do /etc/init.d/apache2 stop i get a "apache2 was not started" error so i am wondering how to get it to start properly |

| Try editing your /etc/hosts file. Add a line with the machine's IP and it's hostname (or domain name if you have one), and I think that will do the trick. |

ok, well i added the machines ip and its hostname to /etc/hosts and that did not fix the problem, i added the local lan ip "192.168.1.103" and the hostname, but that did not fix the problem
i also changed "servername localhost" to "servername gateway" gateway is my hostname and that also did not fix the problem,
i was wondering if i should use the public ip for that computer but the thing is ime going to be using a dyndns.org domainnaim because i have a dynamic ip and i think if i would be to put the public ip in /etc/hosts than i would half to be changing it manually all the time |
