I tried to install the Apache 2.4 web server on my local machine and I got the error below.

** Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started. AH00558: httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::7908:85c9:d022:6dbc. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message**

I ran the command httpd.exe -k install to install the Apache and httpd.exe -k start to start the server and see if I could bypass error.

You need to set a Server Name in the httpd.conf :

1. List item C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf or /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf with notepad or any other text editor.

2. Search for this line in config file #ServerName www.example.com:80

3. Uncomment this line by removing # from the first of line and edit to ServerName 127.0.0.1

4. Save the file, exit and try restarting the server

So, I came across a doc online that fixed the error.

All that was needed to find the line with #ServerName www.example.com:80 in C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf, uncomment it, and maybe replace the URL with 127.0.0.1 or as it suits.
