Found out that for solaris, use the truss command instead of strace so I ran the truss command (see below):

This is in regards to not being able to start up the 1.3.33 apache as a non root user.
I can start up this apache as root for multiple instances but I can't start it as a non-root user??
I've verified that the port is above 1000 (for a non-root user)
I've verified that the script which calls the httpd command uses the -f to specify different config files for each instance (one for able and one for fad)
I'm stumped as to why I can start up 1.3.33 as root and be able to start up multiple instances, but it won't start up for non-root user itisgrp??

The User and Group directive will be ignored if you aren't root when
you start the server.
Do you get any error message when you start as non-root? Are the log
directories writable by the non-root user? Have you tried running
under strace (or equivalent) to catch failing syscalls?
