[snip] What version was Apache originally running on before the upgrades? I ran into a similar problem when I upgraded from 1.3.4 to 1.3.12 - not only did the name of the log files change, but also the name of the configuration file and pid file (from httpd.pid to apache.pid). A bug is that apachectl doesn't check [what used to be httpd.conf but is now apache.conf] for the name of the pid file; the new version just assumes /var/run/apache.pid, apparently. Going through and carefully merging the old httpd.conf into apache.conf with special attention to file locations, killing the old httpd, and *then* apachectl start'ing worked for me... -- Bob "I'm Canadian, and I can't photocopy my ass without the RCMP coming after me." - bigkahuna@scowling.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
