Apache configuration in Mint 14 not working

3

I usually install mysql, apache and php using the following commands 

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql

but after I did a fresh upgrade to Linux mint 14, I got these two errors 

* Starting web server apache2                                                  
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

                                                                         [ OK ]

I get the same error when i restart apache server as well. I haven't been able to make changes the directory of the localhost because of this.

Those are only warnings and should not impact the performance of Apache. You won't see anything on the :8080 virtual host, but the default :80 should still be fine. What's your problem with the "directory of the localhost"? – Der Hochstapler – 2013-03-09T23:09:31.493

whenever i type http://localhost/ I get an error saying that the location does not exist.

To fix that problem, you need edit your apache2.conf file (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf), and set ServerName.

Simply add the following line to the file:

ServerName localhost

Save the file and exit the editor. Don't forget to restart apache.

I looked for the httpd.conf file in my apache2 directory and there was no httpd.conf file there. It's strange, can I paste some other httpd.conf from somewhere else to make it work ?

Here are the contents of the directory

apache2.conf envvars mods-available ports.conf sites-enabled conf.d magic mods-enabled sites-available – Bazinga777 – 2013-03-10T08:47:34.480

@Bazinga777: OK, sorry, I didn't check which Linux you were running. Try this post for the possible location of the httpd.conf file.

I tried it and i configured the localhost. Didn't work.I'm trying something else out right now. Will update the post if it works. – Bazinga777 – 2013-03-10T19:37:03.187
