Uhao... never seen an error like this. I guess i will need your help to track this problem down. Please run the following commands for me: /etc/init.d/apache stop to be sure nothing is running. apachectl configtest that will check if there are obviuos errors in the config files and repeat the same test executing: apache -t If there are errors in the config file please indicate which ones otherwise you will see a "Sintax OK", but remember that it does not mean that the config is 100% valid, only the sintax. try to start apache again and keep an eye on /var/log/error.log. Try first with /etc/init.d/apache start (and see if it starts) stop it again and try apachectl start. Thanks Fabio PS I would really appreciate if you can provide me info back asap. -- <user> fajita: step one <fajita> Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. <user> fajita: step two <fajita> When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.
