Thanks for the reply. Actually there is no error message in the error log. What I did find is that I can start the second instance if I call httpd2 -f /path/to/httpd.conf & directly. However, the start_proc call in the apachectl script does not seem to work. Any suggestions with that? greanie --- Joost de Heer <sanguis@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > What is preventing the second instance from > > starting?
