Well, that is a DNS type issue.  Give your host a
name either in DNS or /etc/resolv.conf, and try
again.  Or, disable mod_unique_id.

I would hesitate in saying that this will fix your problem,
though; that's just an "alert".  Perhaps something else is
wrong as well.

I generally prefer to install apache/PHP/MySQL from
the ports tree, SQL first, PHP last.  Works pretty well;
haven't had many issues since I started doing it
that way.

HTH,
