Hi.

Can someone tell me when the following message appears during the Apache (2.2.x) startup under Linux, what it exactly means ? (and how to make it go away ?).

Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using xyz.company.local for ServerName waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using xyz.company.local for ServerName
.

(The above was a restart, so I guess the message appears both during the shutdown and then the restart)

This server uses name-based VirtualHosts.
In the "main" server section, there is no "ServerName" directive.
There are 2 VirtualHosts defined.
In the first one (meant to be the default "it works!" host, there is
also no ServerName.
In the 2d VirtualHost (the real application one), there is a ServerName with the real DNS-resolvable name "xyz.company.local".

Is Apache complaining because it did not have a name in the first (default) VirtualHost ? Or because, despite the fact that it should work, because it cannot resolve "xyz.company.local" in the 2d host ?

Thanks
