------=_Part_982_24986631.1137174942886 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm entirely new to FreeBSD, but have a fair amount of Linux experience. I installed FreeBSD 6.0 (Production Release) on an oldish i386 system. During the install, I asked to install "ALL". The install went flawlessly. I need Apache on this system for some software development, so I followed these instructions I found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html : # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui # cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile # cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 # make # make install Everything to this point went smoothly! I edited /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf ONLY to set the ServerName to the IP address of the machine. However, when I try to start apache I get: #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started I can't start apache. Here's a configtest: #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl configtest Syntax OK Apache also won't start if I bypass the apachectl script and start it directly. However it doesn't report any errors either: # /usr/local/sbin/httpd # Everything up above is with a completely fresh install of FreeBSD 6. I didn't mess around with anything on the system. I followed the above steps exactly. (As I side note, I've struggled with this for two days, and have installed FreeBSD at least 6 times trying differnet things. I can't get Apache to start. On previous installs, I tried using apache22 with the same results.) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get ANY version of Apache running on a new install of FreeBSD 6? Thanks, Steven Narmontas ------=_Part_982_24986631.1137174942886--
