Hello, i just installed apache 2.2 on my windows system, everything went well but when i try to start it, it says:

httpd.exe could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 66.187.99.137 for ServerName.

How can i fix that?
thanks

Open your httpd.conf and uncomment the line with the ServerName directive. Set it to your machine's host name and restart Apache.

P.S That is just a warning not an error.
