If you don't run apachectl as root, the parent process is unable to open port for listening. You need root privileges for opening <1024 port that is.Hello all, My society needs a package containing apache that must meet next requirements : - all data , software and configuration must be isolated in /opt/apache - the package needs to run on FreeBSD - /opt/apache ( and all files in it ) must be owned by user:group apache:apache <--> 0755 - httpd must run as user:group www:apache The advantage of such a configuration is that - we can easily update our software on all of our servers - we can give the System Administration to this branch of our IT services to a dedicated team without giving them the root password - httpd process can run safely with only write access on the directories where it is absolutely needed ( log, run , ... ) ... The package is now ready but I get some problems. When I run apachectl as root user, process httpd runs correctly but when I run it as user apache , I get next error : [emerg] (2)No such file or directory: Couldn't create accept lock The problem is I don't know what file cannot be read ?
