I've got all the configs setup on the new machine, and have it up on the network, but I can't get Apache to start. I've never seen this sort of behavior before. I tracked it through apachectl to where the actual call to /usr/local/bin/httpd is made. That executable is there, and if I run it with the the -t option I get: Syntax OK But yet it won't start. When I run it with the -X option, it just terminates immediately. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this? The machine is a 4.9 STABLE machine from a couple of days ago, if it matters. Thanks for any ideas on this one, as I'm really stumped as to how to take this any further. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
