Apache apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed error [closed]

I too had this problem aster a good install of Apache 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I eventually fixed when I realised I had entered a wrong name in /etc/hosts file my server name set in /etc/hostname was thissrv2

i.e. hosts was (after I changed it) ...
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0         ip6-localnet
ff00::0         ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters
127.0.1.1       thissvr1
91.189.88.140   ports.ubuntu.com
91.189.95.83    ppa.launchpad.net
54.224.40.137   repo.linaro.org

Once I corrected the entry to that below (now in line with /etc/hostname) the err went

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0         ip6-localnet
ff00::0         ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters
127.0.1.1       thissvr2
91.189.88.140   ports.ubuntu.com
91.189.95.83    ppa.launchpad.net
54.224.40.137   repo.linaro.org

Hope this leads others to fixing this type of error.

This happens when apache is just installed and no setup has been done. Anyway, a quick search[1] first result provides the following reciepe:

To fix that problem, you need to edit the httpd.conf file. Open the terminal and type,

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

By default httpd.conf file will be blank. Now, simply add the following line to the file.

ServerName localhost

Save the file and exit from . Finally restart the server.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
