Apache2 could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name

By the way, should I use Ubuntu 18.04 or should I give a try with Ubuntu 20.04?

The release branch doesnt support 20.04 yet, this is still in testing. To fix the current issue, it would be awesome if you could stay on 18.04 :smiley:.

Ok, I will install it in 18.04 and I will see if modifying line 181 works.

The master branch has also been updated. If this will work we will pick out the changes and roll and the intermediate release…

I had the issue already a few times before but never knew I was the only one so thanks :slight_smile:

Thanks to you, mate. I literally had no idea of the issue. It was you who pinpointed and fixed it :wink: Thanks for everything! You guys are doing a really good job :smiley:

OK guys. I’m sorry to say that there should be something else failing. I have the same error with Apache2:

May 10 21:49:57 host1.server.com apachectl[888]: AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using host1.

Anything else I should try?

For the unatttend install not yet

How ever you can use the flag --interactive yes / -y yes and just enter the values…

We will work on a solutions how ever bed time is approaching…

I will give another try then with the interactive flag and I will let you know the outcome. Thanks!

I also notices that the following command:

bash hst-install-ubuntu.sh --multiphp yes --quota yes --port 8909 --proftp yes --quota yes --postgresql yes --interactive yes

Gives this error:

hst-install-ubuntu.sh: illegal option -- -

Do I need to follow a particular order in the flags?

It should be proftpd

Ok guys, I have something else to add to the list of things failing.

I just noticed this:

when using this installation command:

bash hst-install-ubuntu.sh --multiphp yes --quota yes --port 8909 --proftpd yes --postgresql yes --interactive yes

And systemctl status apache2.service continues giving the same error…

Are you using a VM?
See:

And are you using the version in the release branch?

Thanks for the link.

Yes, I’m using release.

Last night I used the installation script and it was still giving the same May 10 21:49:57 host1.server.com apachectl[888]: AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name error. Happy to help doing new installations today, my server is ready for it.

We’ll update you as soon as we can and have some free time left :).

No problem. I’m happy to help even if it’s just trying to install it. I have everything ready for it. :smiley:
