Please post the CONTENTS of line 264 to the list.  That's the only
way we can tell you.

The line should read something like:

	ServerName FQDN-of-your-system:80

My machine's line would read:

	ServerName prophead.corp.publichost.com:80

There can only be ONE space in the line--between "ServerName" and
the fully-qualified-domain-name (FQDN) of your system.
