AllenLow,

Make sure you have given the DocumentRoot as "/var/www/html" and NOT "var/www/html". Probably you have missed a slash before var/www/html.

try running

Code:

httpd -t

as root.
This performs a syntax check on the httpd.conf.

--------

Are you sure that a line doesn't exist that has /etc/httpd/var/www/html mentioned in it ?
Make sure that your line saying /var/www/html doesn't read ./var/www/html
Notice the dot .

Thanks everyone...i found the problem..it is due to virtualhost setting...
By the way, how to copy all the details in httpd.conf and paste to txt file for reference?

Use grep to remove all the comments and empty lines and redirect it to a file.
Something like this:

Code:

grep -v ^$ <file-name> | grep -v ^# >> /path/to/text-file

Hai Bro's,

Am also facing the same issue...As per your instruction i was cleared "apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for server.localdomain" issue.

but still am facing this issue...httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using server.localdomain for ServerName [Mon Jul 09 19:02:31 2018] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence

Please give solution for that..

With Regards,
Mahendra Kumar V

Welcome mahendrakumar...

You should start a new thread rather than post an unrelated question on a nearly 10-year-old thread.

That said:

Code:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using server.localdomain for ServerName

is a warning that you've not defined a FQDN to apache
and

Code:

warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence

is a warning that there are duplicate VirtualHost entries in your config file.

Neither should be fatal.

Please review the How To Ask A Question link in my signature, and open a new thread with a better question.

As with your other thread (where you never followed up), we aren't your "bros", and as you were told before, you need to read the LQ Rules and the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. You are STILL not providing any useful details about your system, and have re-opened a thread that had been closed for TEN YEARS, and hijacked it with your own question. As scasey said...open a new thread with your question, and when doing so, provide the details mentioned to you previously.
