I can't seem to get Apache to start on a 4.2-RELEASE machine. The error message I get is "httpd could not be started" (yes, that's it) I have tried the 1.3.14 version from the packages, the 1.3.14 version with mod_ssl from the packages, then I cvsupped my ports tree and tried to "make install" the 1.3.19 version there (cvsupped just yesterday - around 18:00 EDT) Everything produced the exact same result. I've got Apache running on a half a dozen other (FreeBSD) machines and I can't figure out what I've done differently this time. I've tried starting apache with "apachectl start" and with "httpd". "apachectl configtest" produces "systax OK". httpd isn't leaving any .core files behind, so I'm not sure what to think. Is there any way to get more descriptive error information?
