"libexpat.so.5" not found

[dharam paul]

Sir,
 "libexpat.so.5" problem is solved by deinstalling and
reinstalling apache.
But now I am not able to start apache:
This is a n00b here,

#apachectl configtest
Syntax ok
httpd-error.log reports:
Mon May  1 00:48:28 2006] [alert] mod_unique_id:
unable to gethostbyname("cathy at alfa.alfanet.com")

A part of httpd.conf:-
ServerName 127.0.0.1 (this line is uncommented)
Listen 192.168.1.14:80 (This line commented or
uncommented does not alter
the error:
Error remains :
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be
started
I am going to use apache for the local intranet. It
looks as if the host name "cathy at alfa.alfanet.com" has
to be changed.

Please help solve the problem
Thanks n regards
