Good evening,
Installing the apache pkg and starting like suggested
doesn't work without tweaking some files first:
miyu# /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl start
httpd: cannot determine local host name.
Use ServerName to set it manually.
/usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
I'm running a DNS on this machine, and /etc/hosts only
has the hostname without domain listed:
10.0.0.3 miyu ns www www-proxy irc news
If I add the FQDN, this works. Can we fix this somehow
(maybe by not adding a '#' in front of the ServerName in
httpd.conf that's determined correctly)?
The right solution (to me) would be to fix apache here,
but i guess that's beyond our scope.
- Hubert
