(it may have not been necessary at all in the end.) otherwise, i ran apache2 under strace(1) to see what file it tried to create which caused the problem. (# strace apache2 -X). i just had to remove the file then. it was something like "ssl_cache". as i said though, i can't find it right now. -- ____________________}John Flinchbaugh{______________________ | glynis@hjsoft.com http://www.hjsoft.com/~glynis/ | ~~Powered by Linux: Reboots are for hardware upgrades only~~
