1. * httpd: cannot determine local host name. *

Hello,

The following error message appears when I try to invoke my
Apache 1.1.1 in Linux 2.0.5.

------------- [Error message] -----------------------------------------
root:~> httpd
root:~> httpd: cannot determine local host name.
Use ServerName to set it manually.
root:~>
------------- [/etc/hosts] --------------------------------------------
127.0.0.1       localhost            room.home
------------- [/etc/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf] ------------------
#ServerName new.host.name
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Having uncommented 'ServerName ...' in httpd.conf, I can start httpd
then.

However, if I try to open something like 'http://localhost/dir', a
pop-up error message appears:
--
        Netscape is unable to locate the server:
         new.host.name
        The server does not have a DNS enry.

        Check the server name in the location (URL)
        and try again.
--

And after adding a slash (/) after "dir", i.e. 'http://localhost/dir/',
I can open the page then!!      

The 'http://localhost/dir' will change to 'http://localhost/dir/' automatically
every time after that.

Questions:
1) why do I have to specify the ServerName?  I didn't have to do so
   in the past.  Besides, new.host.name is non-existence!
2) what makes the "dir/" thing happened??

Hope any one of you can help me solve the problems.

Thank you very much.

regards,

Ferd
