    Hi all.

    I have a server with Apache 2.0.55 installed, and it works ok on the surface.

    But in the error.log file, I find several lines of this msg:

    sh: host: command not found
    Code (markup):
    Anyone knows what could be making this?


    Thanks.

    Apache is attempting to do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP addresses of your visitors. However, 'host' the program that does this is not installed on your server. (It's a standard Unix/Linux command).

    I suggest you turn off Reverse DNS Lookups. I don't know that the configuration setting is for this, but it should be pretty easy to find.

    Cryo.
