+  It means what it says; the Apache software can't determine the
+  hostname of your system.  Edit your <samp>conf\httpd.conf</samp>
+  file, look for the string "ServerName", and make sure there's an
+  uncommented directive such as
+  </p>

+   <dd><code>ServerName localhost</code></dd>

+  or

+  add one if you don't already have one.  Then try to start the server
+  again.
