[users@httpd] failing to determine servers fully qualified doamin name
I do not have access to a DNS.
I have a machine on which apache2 is installed on Ubuntu10.04
I have 2 domain names (both internal)
site1.domain.com
and site2.domain.com
and 2 vhost files for both of them.
configuration of site1.domain.com is
http://pastebin.com/6yzMzUbS
and configuration of site2.domain.com is
http://pastebin.com/9iE8gG1b
in /etc/hosts
I have
192.168.1.5 site1.domain.com site2.domain.com
now when I am restarting apache2 I am getting following
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 192.168.1.5 for ServerName
... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.5 for ServerName
What do I need to check ?

Simply:
put directives:
ServerName site1.domain.com
and
ServerName site2.domain.com
to virtualhost definitions. apache does NOT take care of /etc/hosts.

Also what you are saying in these lines if you read first message when
I started this thread I had done these changes which you have
suggested
before pasting the question here on the list
in /etc/hosts
and ServerName does exists
in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf so I had posted the question.
The server has different domain names meaning. if one is ending in
.edu and another fqdn on same server is ending in .com

Did you read the manual entry I linked you to? It was specificly
chosen to illustrate why apache emits that error message, and what you
can do to fix the problem:
"""
If no ServerName is specified, then the server attempts to deduce the
hostname by performing a reverse lookup on the IP address.
"""
So it tries to do a PTR (reverse) lookup for your IP, 192.168.1.5,
which obviously doesn't return correctly, and so apache emits the
error.
So to fix it, you must supply a ServerName (in the main config, not a
vhost) which apache can resolve. To make sure apache can resolve it,
simply add the hostname to /etc/hosts
Eg, if your server is called 'bob', then put 'ServerName bob' in the
apache config, and add a line '192.168.1.5 bob' to /etc/hosts.
(Wondering why I bother.)
