I am still receiving this error when I try to run Apache 1.3.33. At this point I've tried it on a Windows 2K SP4 server and on a Windows 2003 server and with version 1.3.31, but still receive the same error. Unfortunately, because of some modules I need to include, I have to use a pre-2.0 version of Apache and I have to use Windows. If I use the precompiled version for Win32, it works fine. But, I need to compile it with specific modules for my back-end CRM application. (For those of you wondering, I also receive the error when I compile Apache without the CRM modules.) The exact message is: ----- fopen: No error Apache.exe: could not open error log file d:/inetpub/wwwroot/logs/error.log. ----- I have confirmed that, at the moment, everyone has full access to the logs directory, so I do not believe permissions are an issue. To reaffirm that belief, if the error.log file does not exist in the logs directory when Apache.exe is executed, it gets created there. That alone would indicate to me that the process has write access to the directory and that apache is looking in the right place for the error log file. I'm stuck here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Josh Graves Systems Administrator Duluth Trading Company http://www.duluthtrading.com
