i had a similar problem i had originally setup apache with php 5.3.0 and later had gone on to change the php version to php 5.2.10. after the transition i could not restart the server, even after correctly specifying the php-config path and other intricacies. i finally got apache to restart by just renaming the php 5.3.0 folder to something else :)

sorry guys it's servername "hostname" not nameserver "hostname". i had the same problem and after adding that line in the end of the file i don't receive that message when i reload or restart apache2. good luck

hello, you can fix that by adding nameserver "hostname" in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf hostname is the name of your machine.

stfw or from root type "hostname localhost", if you own a domain then "hostname mydomain "
