Hi there,
You can try to run it directly from the command line without the
init-script. Just call the httpd directly. That way you see
him exit.
Then make sure you are looking into the right error.log.
It does not need to be the one in your config file. Your httpd
has a hardcoded error log, that is used until it can access the
error.log defined in the config. Check the documentation
of your distribution
And finally you can start the command with "strace" or your
local dialect's tool of choice. That way you will see the
error killing your process.
hope this helps,
Christian
