well, i edited the /etc/hosts file and it seemed to've done the trick.
but now it seems i'm taking heaps of test failures from 'make test' run.
if apache is inactive, would that cause these failures? for instance,
most of my failures resulted from the 'apr/perlio.t',
'modules/cgiupload.t', and 'modules/cgi.t'.

That's weird. Because my patch doesn't solve the problem, it only asserts
if
the default servername wasn't found. Could it be a temporary glitch on
your
system? What happens if you reverse the patch and try again? Does it
still
fail as before?

The problem was at Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm:
sub our_remote_addr {
my $self = shift;
my $name = $self->default_servername;
$remote_addr ||= Socket::inet_ntoa((gethostbyname($name))[-1]);
}
$name was undef. Socket::inet_ntoa() has died because of that.
