I have been working with Apache for about 7-8 years now, and I have ran into a unique issue. The basis is that I can not get any kind of error message to tell me where to begin. Here is the general info for everyone: FreeBSD 5.3 Apache 1.3.33 PHP 4.3.10 Mod_ssl 2.8.22-1.3.33 OpenSSL 0.9.7e Etc... etc... etc... Really, I just need help to get Apache to spit out an error message of why it will not start, then I think I could move on. So here are the results of startups. CSH ---------------------------------- FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 % ./bin/apachectl configtest Syntax OK % ./bin/apachectl startssl ./bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started % ./bin/apachectl start ./bin/apachectl start: httpd started % ./bin/apachectl stop ./bin/apachectl stop: httpd stopped ---------------------------------- As you can see, the server starts well without the startssl switch. Anyone have ideas on how I can force some error out of Apache or track down an error (startup error log) to start debugging the problem? Thanks in advance for your time, Tait --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
