I am trying to run a piece of software that apparently depends on a "RUNNING" message in ifconfig.

Notice how the loopback interface has "RUNNING" on it, whereas eth0 does not. It is the lack of RUNNING that is preventing the software I'm trying to run from loading. It claims that eth0 is NOT running, which, according to ifconfig, it isn't. What should I do?

It is RUNNING for me. Does the interface working? Can you ping somewhere else?
Yes. The interface works fine for everything. Apache is one of many services running there that is heavily accessed by others, and the fact it doesn't say RUNNING doesn't change a thing. The interface DOES work.
