[users@httpd] Problem with Apache2 FQDN
Hello,
I'm getting the famous warning when
starting/restarting apache...
"apache2: Could not determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using 192.168.15.252 for
ServerName"
I have a valid domain name. I'm hosting two websites
on my server box using Name-based virtual host. My
question is how can apache determine the FQDN of my
server if there are two "ServerName" directives for
the two websites in the httpd.conf file????? Seems
like its using my server boxes local IP address for
the FQDN.
My two domain names are...
mydomain1.org
mydomain2.org
Both are specified in the httpd.conf file as
VirtualHosts.
The computer that is hosting these websites hostname
is "Carbon" and inside the /etc/hosts file there is a
line below the loopback line as follows.
192.168.15.252 carbon
Any idea's... Its not a big deal but I'm not sure if
its messing up my Sendmail wrapper program that is
being utilized by the php mail() function so I would
like to fix it and move on.

Thanks,
Sounds like this is a normal behavior with name based
virtual hosting???
I'm using Citadel (which is an awesome
email/groupware/bbs platform www.citadel.org) and they
have a sendmail wrapper. I think the wrapper program
is working because I get emails from cron and such but
not from any of the php scripts on my site using the
mail() function.
Thanks again for the help.

As far as I know, this is usually a harmless emit. If you want to get
rid of it, you could place a
ServerName carbon.yourdomain.com
in your main server section. However, this only applies to your main
server, which will receive requests that cannot be routed to your
virtual hosts. Depending on your configuration decisions, you may not
need the functionality that the ServerName directive provides. It is
certainly not something that you should jeopardize your Sendmail
configuration for.
