I would add an entry like thus:


65.101.242.37	test.fakedomain.com	fakedomain


Also, I still would want to know what is in the error_log....

I did vi to the /etc/hosts file.  The only IP there is 127.0.0.1 for 
localhost.  The static IP for my machine is 65.101.242.37.

What  does it say there?


One possibility: Apache must be able to resolve the IP you have in the 
ServerName. You need to have the /etc/hosts file configured correctly 
for this to happen if the IP cannot be resolved.


Check the error log and let us know what it says.

<excerpt>Ken, I get a syntax error from root with

ps axlgrep httpd

Seems to be an invalid or incomplete command.  So from root I then did

httpd -k restart

apachectl restart

and still got nothing.  Any other ideas?

<excerpt>I'm having a difficult time setting up a simple Apache server
on my

Yellow Dog Linus 3.0 box.


1.  I use vi to go into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


2.  I write the ServerName as my static IP (don't have a domain  name).


3.  I tell the server to listen to [static IP]:80


4.  DocumentRoot is default /var/www/html


Do I need to remove the quotation marks in lines like  "var/www/html"
or

"/etc/httpd" to enable them?


When I try to connect to my static IP from another computer, the

connection just hangs and fails.  When I try to do it from my YDL  box,

I get a "connection refused" message.


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I hate to ask the obvious, but is Apache running?  If so, did you 
restart

it after you made changes to httpd.conf?


    [root@www root]# ps ax|grep httpd


    [root@www root]# apachectl restart
