As the error states, you haven't correctly configured a fully qualified domain name for the server. This will cause problems with many of your services, not just Apache. A server needs a sane fully qualified domain name and a lookup on that address needs to resolve at least locally (so you need an /etc/hosts entry for that name for the primary interface address). Even better, though not mandatory for Apache, to have the name and address resolvable via DNS.
You will also need your IP to resolve to some name (any name) for mail to be sendable from your system.
