First three questions

Hello all,

I'm installing Apache 2.0 on my Windows XP computer. It should be a
server on my own machine, just to test PHP first. Three questions are to
be answered at the outset, see below. Is there an archive where I can
find the answers? I'm not sure whether I'm free to assign names myself
or need to copy information from elswhere.

Many thanks, Dirk

1.
Network Domain. Enter the DNS domain in which your server is or will be
registered in. For example, if your server's full DNS name is
server.mydomain.net, you would type mydomain.net here.

2.
Server Name. Your server's full DNS name. From the example above, you
would type server.mydomain.net here.

3.
Administrator's Email Address. Enter the server administrator's or
webmaster's email address here. This address will be displayed along
with error messages to the client by default.

These are the addresses you use to get to the machine. If you want
outsiders to be able to get to it, they need to be real, with real DNS
entries and all. If it's for internal testing only, you can drop an entry
in to your hosts file and use anything you want.

This only matters if it's going to be sending mail.
