Hi,

I get this problem when launching my built-in webserver from the system preferences:

[Sat Dec 15 23:42:56 2001] [alert] httpd: Could not determine the
server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

I wondered if anyone could help me to fix it, at the moment my webserver doesn't work!

Thanks

opening /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and editing the "ServerName" should help.
be warned, though, you have to supply a fqdn, if you don't have one, use 127.0.0.1 -- will only work for testing purposes from your local machine.
if you have a static ip, you can use that, however.

...or consider dyndns.org or something comparable.
