It happens EVERY time, immediately, on startup. Apache IS running. And there is nothing in the error log. The error log is listed in the message below. Other suggestions below are more in line with what is happening. You need to start at the beginning of the message to get the drift of all that is happening in my situation. It is a string of events that take place on startup. -----Original Message----- From: Boyle Owen [mailto:Owen.Boyle@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 3:23 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Connection Refused - SOLVED?? > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Avila [mailto:Michael.Avila.1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Sonntag, 27.

If only once, I suspect apache wasn't running to begin with... If it happens many times, then something is switching off apache. Check the error_log. Note that "connection refused" is a low-level network message at the TCP/IP layer which means that the server is not listening on the port you requested (usually port 80 for HTTP). This is usually because the service is not running.
