apache2 not really starting [SOLVED]

Hello,

I've emerged apache and seemingly got it running. I put in:

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

it returns:
* Starting apache2 ...

But i can't access the server by typing in my ip, so i try to stop apache and get:
* WARNING: apache2 has not yet been started.

any ideas on whats going on?

thanks,
- legit

You might want to take a look at /var/log/apache2/error_log

Look at your /etc/hosts file and make sure your hostname appears there correctly (see also hosts man page etc).

Yep, that did it, just hadn't added it to it yet because I have two network interfaces. added it in and it worked fine. Thanks!
