Your # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name. # ServerName www.la3sg.net If you have not done any editing, the ServerName is commented out. In that case I believe you will receive your error message. > Kjell >
