The error explains where to look

Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost:

$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName icecast.mydomain.com
      #ServerAlias Example Domain

      ServerAdmin root@localhost An email address is required for the virtual host configuration.

              Order allow,deny
              Allow from all
      </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

line 5 - original

ServerAdmin root@localhost An email address is required for the virtual host configuration.

Tried;
1)
satimis@icecast.mydomain.com
2)
satimis@mydomain.com

Also tried;
ServerName www.mydomain.com

satimis@mydomain.com (mail address)

All failed.

Apache2 was automatically installed when running;

$ sudo apt-get install airtime

I suspect there is another config file its content must be matched.

Must "hostname" be matched?

$ hostname

ub1204dk02

$ hostname -f

ub1204dk02

Thanks

Probably the comment sign is missing, so all the words are evaluated. Which then leads to the error.
But you dont need that comment anyways.

Replace the ServerAdmin line by just this:

ServerAdmin satimis@mydomain.com

ServerAdmin satimis@mydomain.com

deleted the sentence "An email address is required for the virtual host configuration" after "ServerAdmin satimis@mydomain.com"

$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName icecast.mydomain.com
      #ServerAlias www.example.com

      ServerAdmin satimis@mydomain.com 

      DocumentRoot /usr/share/airtime/public
      DirectoryIndex index.php

      SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "production"

      <Directory /usr/share/airtime/public>
              Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
              AllowOverride All
              Order allow,deny
              Allow from all
      </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

$ ls -al /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 16 22:05 .

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 Jan 16 15:26 airtime-vhost -> ../sites-available/airtime-vhost

Why this is a symbolic link?

$ sudo service apache2 start

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

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1      ub1204dk02

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Replaced "ub1204dk02" with "mydomain.com" and rebooted

$ sudo service apache2 restart

sudo: unable to resolve host ub1204dk02
 * Restarting web server apache2
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for ub1204dk02
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
 ... waiting apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for ub1204dk02
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
   ...done.

Mistake still remains

Edit:
-----
$ cat /etc/hostname

ub1204dk02

changed "ub1204dk02" to "mydomain.com"

$ sudo service apache2 restart

 * Restarting web server apache2
 ... waiting    ...done.

Now it works. Thanks
