MySQL errors on installation

Hey, I am running Mac OSX Server 10.1.1

I have finally gotten php installed and now I am trying to get MySQL installed. I followed the directions on this page this page

And everytime I type in the line

mysql_install_db

I get the following in the terminal

Sorry, the host 'xserver' could not be looked up.
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage restart this script with the --force option.

So now I have no idea what this means. I know that 'xserver' is the name of my server, but how do i configure the 'hostname' to return a correct hostname?

Any help would be greatlyt appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.
