I have a FreeBSD 4.0 Release and I can't get my apache working. I'm a single user - I don't have a network, only dial-up. I have both FreeBSD and Linux installed and apache in Linux works. The starting script for apache says this: [alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname(""), so I can't get httpd to run. I read your mailing lists but didn't find a solution that works for me. I compared /etc/hosts and /etc/resolve.conf with Linux and they seem to be almost identical. In resolve.conf in FreeBSD i have "hosts" and in resolve.conf I have my local host specified with 127.0.0.1 number. I need this information because I plan to install FreeBSD later on some systems.
