I can't start hhtpd service

[zahedjoy009]

I am very new in using Linux. I am using Centos 7 of vmware. I wanted to start the httpd but i am facing some problems. Please help.

[root@tbcl conf]# systemctl status -l httpd

Is 192.168.176.129 on this machine? Is it up? Is anything already listening on that port on that ip?

I have changed in vhost.conf file. before it was <virtualhost 192.168.176.129:80.....virtualhost> and now i changed it to "*:80" and now its showing "AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.176...s message".
[root@tbcl conf.d]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

192.168.176.129 tbcl tbcl.example.com

this is the setting in my /etc/hosts file. what should i do?

That's a warning/info message not an error so httpd should be running unless you missed an error.

May I troll a little bit by saying: Use NginX?
