Hi,

I've installed an old version of Corel Linux / Debian on my PC and I wanted
to try the webserver Apache. When I start the webserver, however I get an
error in the logfile, something like 'cannot resolve
gethostbyname("catbert5")'. The webserver isn't running afterwards even
after I do a 'Apache start' so the error must be critical.

I believe it's a DNS error but I don't know how to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance!
