I am also facing the same prob but the above reply dint worked for me plz can anyone help me

hey Nithin, send this command:

cat /etc/hostname
if you don't have a hostname, you need to give your server a good hostname and a domain name. for example: hostname.domainname.com
make sure you only have one entry, its possible that you have a corupted hostname file, so i would clear it all and run the command on this post
MAKE SURE TO RESTART YOUR SERVER

you have to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and, at the end of the file, add:

# added servername to avoid the could not determine fqdn error
servername myserver

place your server name in place of myserver.

it worked for me.

also check this file:

/etc/hosts

make sure it matches your hostname

starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for hostname.domain

httpd: could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for servername
