Loging to your Redhat server with the SSH account that was provided by our staff. Make sure you are logged in as root. If you don't have your password or forgot, please contact our support team. otherwise, execute these commands if you have your root password:

Code:

echo HOST.DOMAIN.com > /etc/hostname

HOST = Your host name
DOMAIN = Your Domain Name

Now execute the next command in the shell:

Code:

/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

Now that your server has a hostname and a domain name, restart your server with the following command:

Code:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

After you have restarted your server, you shouldn't see the error.

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.

make sure you dont have a duplicate http.conf file. in my case i had /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf (from the configurator app).
renaming or deleting one should fix the issue

regards

i edited the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and at the end of the file, added:

servername here-the-name-of-your_server

it worked for me.
