Little problem with the installation...
Authored by: tanhauser on Apr 20, '01 05:52:39PM

Hi folks...

I just upgraded Apache to the newest version (1.3.19) by following Scott Anguish's instructions over at stepwise:
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2001-03-24.01.html

The download went fine, the configuring went fine, making went fine, and making the install went fine.

So, after I installed it I went to System Preferences and into the 'Sharing' panel to restart it (was running), but now when I press start it just hangs on the 'Web Sharing Starting Up' message.

If I try to launch Apache trough the Terminal by typing:

% /usr/sbin/apachectl start

I get this:

Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users
Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/frank.conf
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

And throws me back to the prompt. Any ideas of what's going on?

Thanks!

Frank

I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but one thing you should look at is the apache error log, which
is stored in:

/var/log/httpd

and see if that provides any hints.

I have the exact same problem. I'm trying desperately to solve it, glad I'm not alone...

Your Dev Tools CD-ROM is pooched.

My was too. I managed to take down MySQL, PostgreSQL, php4.0.5, Apache, gawk, postfix on the way to discovering that.It was a very productive evening. I managed to trash my entire domain.

I bet if you an MD5 checksum on files you download and repeat the download & checksum process a few times you'll get different answers.

I got OS X the day it was shipped. I pooched my services almost immediately after. I called Apple tech support for a replacement. It still isn't here. I'm still waiting to repair the damage.

I'm a less than thrilled camper.
