Hey everyone! I'm just starting out with Linux Mint running on a virtual machine and I'm having some trouble with Apache. When I run the command `sudo service apache2 status`, I get a message that says "AH00558". After looking into it a bit, I opened the nano editor and added `ServerName 127.0.1.1`, but it still didn't work. Now I'm seeing a different message: "AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name". This warning is indicating that Apache can't automatically determine the server's FQDN. The suggestion is to set the `ServerName` directive globally to suppress this warning. I'd really appreciate any help with resolving this! Thanks!

That warning is pretty common and usually doesn't stop Apache from functioning. What happens when you visit `localhost` in your browser? Do you get the default Apache page, or is there an error?
Yes, I’ve checked and the localhost page works fine!
