The text I'm using (and several old mailings) say this is caused by not running dns. The solution is supposed to be to edit /etc/hosts and add the IP address and host name that Apache is trying to use. My machine has two NIC's. The first card was in /etc/hosts so I assumed that Apache was trying to use the other (fxp0). I added the IP address and host name, saved the file, and tried to start Apache again. Same results. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to have to set up bind just to use apache on a three machine network!
