Could not reliably determine FQDM - CentOS issue

Hi, probably a simple fix but can't figure it out. Just setting up a CentOS server and trying to configure Apache. I have added the following to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Code:

# Additions

NameVirtualHost *:80

Include /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/

When I restart Apache, I get this:

Code:

Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 2a00:1a48:xxxx:xxx:xxx:xxxx:ff08:2057 for ServerName

Checking /etc/hosts and I have this:

Code:

127.0.0.1  localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1        localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

x.x.xx.xxx    myserver-staging

xx.xxx.xxx.xx  myserver-staging

2a00:1a48:xxxx:xxx:xxx:xxxx:ff08:2057 myserver-staging

If I try to set ServerName myserver-staging in httpd.conf, restarting Apache fails without any error output.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Many thanks

It's not possible. unless you have a typo in your syntax. You can run

Code:

httpd -t

to check the config file(s)

BTW since you run Centos, there is no /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/ directory

"Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,..." is not fatal last time I checked. Lots of my apache frontends tell me this and apache works just fine.

Does localhost work?

Code:

pidof apache or 

pidof apache2 or

pidof httpd or

telnet localhost 80

should tell you if apache is indeed running.
