just try the following steps:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf


Most probably the file will be empty.

Just add the following line, and you are done!

ServerName localhost


[ localhost will be the servername. ]

Then you can restart service by typing the code below:

sudo service apache2 restart

Fix your hosts file at /etc/hosts.

1) From command line type hostname to get your hostname. Example output might be example.com

2) Edit /etc/hosts and change the lines to match your hostname. Example:

::1 localhost.example.com localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.example.com localhost
192.168.1.104 example.com example
192.168.1.104 example.com.


3) Open your httpd.conf file and make sure ServerName is defined. If it is not add ServerName example.com

4) Restart apache via command line apachectl -k graceful OR apachectl -k restart
