Error installing and starting Apache Web Server using Gzip Compression

I tried to install the Apache 2.4 web server on my local machine and I got the error below.

**
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.
AH00558: httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fe80::7908:85c9:d022:6dbc. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message**

I ran the command httpd.exe -k install to install the Apache and httpd.exe -k start to start the server and see if I could bypass error.

    So, I came across a doc online that fixed the error.

    All that was needed to find the line with #ServerName www.example.com:80 in C:Apache24confhttpd.conf, uncomment it, and maybe replace the URL with 127.0.0.1 or as it suits.

    You need to set a Server Name in the httpd.conf :

    1. List item C:Apache24confhttpd.conf or /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf with notepad or any other text editor.

    2. Search for this line in config file #ServerName www.example.com:80

    3. Uncomment this line by removing # from the first of line and edit to ServerName 127.0.0.1

    4. Save the file, exit and try restarting the server

    The error you’re encountering indicates that Apache cannot determine your server’s fully qualified domain name. To fix this, you can set the ServerName directive in your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) by adding a line like ServerName localhost:80. If you’re looking for a more robust solution, consider using dedicated server hosting from https://hostnoc.com/, which can provide a stable environment for your web server.
