Apache cannot fully determine domain name when I tried restarting after install.

I get this error;

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server config apache2
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain
name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName.

Why am I seeing 127.0.1.1? I have tried saving ServerName localhost into my /etc/init.d/apache2 but it keeps redirecting me to Google search page every time I type phpmyadmin.

Will appreciate any expert help.

Unless there is a specific reason you need it to determine it there is no real reason to try and do so. I run 3 soon to be 5 sites on my server and at every restart it still says that. It seems to only be important in very specific cases.

Line:

ServerName localhost

should be added to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or to some specific site in /etc/apache2/sites-available/. The configuration can vary on different versions but httpd.conf should be there always.

As default the configurations of apache is blank. Try to set with this.

Open terminal, and edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ,

set Servername localhost

Besure u have changed httpd.conf with right.

Restart with this command :

sudo service apache2 stop

sudo service apache2 start

See image below.

You need to specify ( Optional ) name of the site in apache configuration. Edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file.

Add following parameter

Servername <your-website-name>

For example 

 Servername ketan.in

Restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
