I created a new virtual host for my Django application in Apache in my “sites-available” folder:

NameVirtualHost 74.181.105.228:80
<VirtualHost 74.181.105.228:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com
    ServerName mydomain.com

# Run the SLMCS Django application.
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/david/djangosites/mydomain/wsgi.py
WSGIScriptReloading On

Alias /static/ /home/david/staticFiles/

<Directory /home/david/djangosites/mydomain>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>

</Virtualhost>

After I restart Apache with “sudo apachectl restart”, the site http://mydomain.com works fine. However, Apache outputs this warning.

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, 
using 74.181.105.228 for ServerName

What does this mean? I specified the ServerName directive in my Virtualhost, right?

    Your server doesn’t have a ServerName. You set one, but only for your VirtualHost, not for the server itself.
