Apache Error I Can't Resolve

carlosinfl · 11-17-2005, 06:35 PM

My Apache 2 web server is working fine http://carlwill.dyndns.org but when I try and restart Apache2 after I make any changes, I always see this error.

Code:

stricom:/var/www# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server...grep: /etc/apache2/conf.d/[^.#]*: No such file or directory
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

It does not seem to be effecting anything at all since everything is working but it's annoying and I would like it fixed.

My document root seems to be correct since my URL takes you to my home page so I don't know what the problem is.

Please help.

Looks like a typo/bug in apache's init script. IIt would seem it is looking for additional conf files in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ but "[^.#]*" is being expanded literally. Check your init script for lines that use grep...and see if there is a typo...

Edit httpd.conf and add:

"ServerName carlwill.dyndns.org"

to get rid of that.

When I edit the "http.conf" file, all I see there is this...

# This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support
# installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than
# through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism.
#
#LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so
ServerName carlwill.dyndns.org

So I just added what you said (w/o the quotes) to the end and made sure it was un-commented.

Here is what I did and now what I get...???

Code:

login as: root

Right. I said you have 2 separate problems, and you have gotten rid of one of them...

For the other have a look at you apache initscript (probably /etc/init.d/httpd or somesuch)
as I think it probably has a typo in it....
