Solution 1

If you want to use Apache for the development on the same host, use "localhost", address the service with "http://localhost". Use IP address for use from other machines on the LAN. One other options is to install your own local DNS service (or your own DHCP and DNS server).

Solution 2

Use the IP address of localhost. I believe Apache comes by default pointing to that address, you can change it in the http.conf file which is plain text. Mt personal recommendation is that you re-install the program, during the setup if should ask for the domain and server name.
