Can Apache run offline?

Hi,

Total beginner here. As the title says - can Apache run offline?

I don't yet have a domain name, or permanent access to the internet, but when I am connected (as I was to download and install apache22 and PHP) I can use http://127.0.0.1 and can view the test.php file. But when I am not connected I cannot use http://127.0.0.1 and httpd does not seem to be starting at all. Why is that?

I would have thought it would still work when disconnected. I am hoping there is something I have overlooked... I hope it is not the case that Apache needs to be connected to start. Any help would be appreciated.

The message from httpd-error.log gives:

Code: 
[alert] (EAI 8)hostname nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 

address of "leonardo.com"
Configuration Failed
 
DNS. It's always DNS. The message says your machine is called "leonardo.com", but there's no DNS to get an IP address for it. So add it to /etc/hosts.
