This is not an error. It just tells you apache wasn't running before so 
it's doing a start instead of a restart.

This not an apache issue either. It tells you it cannot find your 
server's hostname or resolve your hostname into an IP address (either 
one of the 2, dunno exactly which one)
You can fix it by setting the ServerName directive (it's in the 
httpd.conf file already, commented out) Don't just fill something in of 
course, the name you enter there must be resolvable to your IP address.
Note, this is not a fatal error. As you can see in the last log line, 
apache is up & running and accessible from the local machine by surfing 
to http://127.0.0.1

Have fun,
