apache-2.2httpdUbuntuweb-server

I am working on ubuntu. I got the error messages while try to restart apache.

root@XXX:/etc/init.d# sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                                                                                              apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,                                                               using xxx.xxx.xx.xxx for ServerName

I got the following message when tried netstat -pant

Use lsof -i :80 {check if the parameter is correct). It's listing all the application that are listening on port 80.

Also try to run apache2 {directly the executable} to check what is happening.
