Re: need help on webserver or apache



Check your apache's log to see what goes wrong...

tail -f /var/log/apache/errors.log

then restart your apache (using a different term window) and watch what goes
in your errors.log. If you don't find anything useful during restart of
apache - then see what happens when you access the directory with your
mozilla. Also, make sure that the directory in question is registered in
your httpd.conf (<Directory> directive)...

make sure you have the modules, and apache knows about them...
for example, you might need to add the following line to your httpd.conf:

AddModule mod_dir.c

and then restart your apache. After the modules have been loaded, you can
simply comment out the above line from your httpd.conf file.
The same applies to your cgi.

:P
