Hi all, I've done a fresh install of Mandrake 7.2, and when I reboot, apache fails to start displaying the following error :- 'Unable to determine local host name Use the Server Name directive to set it manually' Before people say I have not set up the host name of the machine using linuxconf, I have. When I type hostname, I get my 'hostname' displayed. I can get apache to start if I set the server name in apache's config file, but in the help files it says this should be unnecessary if naming works, and I can ping my host name and the name does resolve to the correct IP address. I'm concerned that there is an underlying problem that should be resolved, as other programs that I install in the future may not work!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
