    Have you added the entry for localhost, servername and IP in /etc/hosts file ?

    These aren't actual errors but warnings. Apache should be running even with these.

    On a generic Linux box you can fix the first with something similar to:
    echo HOST.DOMAIN.com > /etc/hostname
/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
    Code (markup):
    The way to clear the VirtualHosts warning is to comment out the line 

    NameVirtualHost 198.189.19.2:80
    Code (markup):
    in httpd.conf. This is just warning that 192.189.19.2 is configured for a NameVirtualHost but no virtual hosts have been designated for it. It should not hamper the operation of the server at all (unless you actually should have a VirtualHost on that IP and its config is munged).
