LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Apache2

The upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 resulted in the Apache2 link to "index.html" breaking. It was an easy fix, just took a while to find. Basically a new directory ("html") was created under "var/www/". So the "index.html" file needs to be moved to "var/www/html/"

But the main reason for this post is that I periodically received cryptic error messages that did not seem to affect the operation of Apache, so I ignored them. In searching for the solution to the broken "index.html" link, I found solutions to these problems too.

"AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message."

The solution is to add the line: "ServerName localhost" to the "/etc/apache2/apache2.conf" file.

# Global configuration

ServerName localhost

"AH00671: The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf at line 3 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias."

This error originates from the file: "/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/httpd.conf". Turns out that this file has been deprecated. For whatever reason, it was still on my computer. Commenting out the line below, by adding the "#" symbol at the beginning of the line resolved the error message.

# Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
