Fix “Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name” when starting Apache server on Ubuntu

We can specify ServerName as 127.0.0.1 to make this message disappear. Just open your favorite terminal emulator and paste: echo “ServerName 127.0.0.1” | sudo tee -a /etc/apache2/conf.d/server_name Restart Apache sudo service apache2 restart
