Let me know if I should send this to the Apache people.
Here's the deal, I have three domains that all point at my server and three different webroots for them. Before I had all this server trouble 
I had it working just fine using NameVirturalServer and ServerName
directives. However now I'm getting a message when ever I try and start Apache that's telling me: "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I've never seen this 
before.
Well, the first thing the Apache folks would ask you is "what does the 
error log say?"

The log file only has this in it:
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /var/log/apache2/step/error.log. 
Unable to open logs
Though that might be my fault... hold on...
Well what do you know. There was no directory there and that was causing Apache to fail. Wow, picky... Thanks! You guys are a life saver! (And a lot faster than the Apache lists..)
Ok, new question; anyone know how to change what file apache looks for first? (That is, I want it to load 'index.php' first, then 'index.html' and so on.) I found it once before but I can't remember where it was.
In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, look for the DirectoryIndex directive. which ever is frist in the list gets served first. For example: 
 DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
if both are in present, the html file will get served first.

Found it, it's in /etc/apache2/mods_available/dir.conf that's what I was hunting for. Thanks! I'll leave you guys alone now.
