Re: apache setup

[asko mursel <askomursel yahoo com>]

I cannot see what the acctual error on line 264 is. It
only tells me that there is an error.
Here is what I'm doing:
[root localhost httpd-2.0.48]# apachectl start
and this is the error I get:
"Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 264 of
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: ServerName takes one
argument, The hostname and port of the server"

I have no clue what that means, cuz I'm new to linux.
Thanks for your help though.
