Go to httpd.conf and set a proper name in the ServerName directive. Open httpd.conf in vi/vim/emacs and search for ServerName. Set it to an IP address and you don't have to worry about DNS or /etc/hosts. It is as simple as that. The most basic question is Apache configuration is this one and everyone is bound to get this when learning the details of Apache configuration. You should remember these switches for testing the configuration settings everytime you modify the file. $ httpd -t More details here. It is really simple. http://linux.die.net/man/8/httpd I used to work on the guts of Apache and I used to use the -x switch for preventing Apache from forking. I don't think you will need to do that now. Apache directives are organized in sections like XML.
