I remember there is a ServerName directive in Apache.
Try to find a line containing "Servername" in your httpd.conf and
add your hostname to it: ServerName dragon .
Chances are you're trying to fire up a web server called www.example.com
or something like that.

You can check the /etc/hosts file which stores this info.
It contains a line per interface and should read

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.1.13    dragon

HTH!
