Use an IP address if you can.

This hardly seems sufficient. This is one situation where using the
sample httpd.conf file will help you. It seems long, but it's mostly
comments. Entries I change 

ServerAdmin
ServerName
CustomLog
User
Group
DocumentRoot

After you make your changes, run "apachectl configtest" to validate
your configuration file.
