Apache problem

[lelol]

When I start Apache on Suse 10.1, it's running just for a few seconds, and then immediately stops. Why is this happening, and what can I do to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Issue the following command and post the result cat /var/log/messages, so that we can get a little more information.

Error log content:

[notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec2)
[alert] (EAI 2) Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "dceran"
Configuration Failed

make sure you have an entry for your server (assuming dceran) in the /etc/hosts file. Then, issue the following /etc/init.d/apache2 start or restart and post back.

Problem solved.

dceran wasn't host - there wasn't an entry for it in /etc/hosts file. I don't know what is dceran - i got it as a default root user when installing suse. After: su root and restarting Apache everything works fine.

Thank you.
