How do I configure Web searches suggest three possibilities
1. that this is a problem with DNS, edit /etc/hosts
I've got this line in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.home.net bsd-box.home.net bsd-box
2. Apache is listening to devices that don't exist - I don't know how to
explore that suggestion.
3. If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address in
httpd.conf
I have this line in httpd.conf
ServerName 127.0.0.1
Simplest means of correcting this would be to add your static IP (if
one existed) for your server box on the network to your /etc/hosts file
and then change Servname to match bsd-box.
The more complex (but probably better means), would be to setup a
DNS server (look up bind9 for this) and then just make sure that
Servname matches your machine's DNS assigned hostname.
