apache refuses to start after hostname change

Mux · 10-17-2002, 10:48 PM

I am having a bit of a problem with apache and my hostname. Before i changed my hostname it worked perfectly. Now it won't start, and this is what appears in the error_log:

[alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname("olof")

olof, is the new hostname. I've read the info page about mod_unique_id in the apache manual but it hasn't been of much help.

Does anybody know where the problem is??

Thanks

Did you adjust the settings to the httpd.conf also ?

what line in the httpd.conf would you change?

I believe it's Servername. So in your httpd.conf it should look like this:

ServerName olof
