+ <p>
+ It means what it says; the Apache software can't determine the
+ hostname of your system. Edit your <samp>conf\httpd.conf</samp>
+ file, look for the string "ServerName", and make sure there's an
+ uncommented directive such as
+ </p>
+ <dl>
+ <dd><code>ServerName localhost</code></dd>
+ </dl>
+ <p>
+ or
+ </p>
+ <dl>
+ <dd><code>ServerName www.foo.com</code></dd>
+ </dl>
+ <p>
+ in the file. Correct it if there one there with wrong information, or
+ add one if you don't already have one. Then try to start the server
+ again.
