As I said, the error log is empty. The /etc/init.d/apache basically starts up apache with apachectl. Trying it at the command line does this: ############## linux:~# apachectl status Looking up localhost localhost Making HTTP connection to localhost Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status linux:~# ####################### linux:~# apachectl configtest Syntax OK linux:~# ################## linux:~# apachectl start /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started linux:~# ################## ...only it starts and immediately dies. any other ideas?
