Hi. Rank beginner here. I'm setting up a web development server so I can go beyond HTML and site design. I've set up Ubuntu on a Macpro G5, downloaded xampp, installed Apache, but when I try to install php5, I get this:

Setting up php5 (5.2.3-1ubuntu6.5) ...
mark@webdev:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for webdev
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for webdev
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

Where is the fully qualified reliable server name?

How do I get around this?

Is webdev the hostname? If so, please add it to /etc/hosts.
