Good Morning, I am a newbie to Apache, but I have played with it a little. I was able to set up apache on a Centos 4.2 box (used Centos version of Apache). I got it running so that I could hit it from my internal network at 10.255.255.7. I had even got it set up so that I could hit it with my external IP Address. So I one point it was working. Then all of sudden I am getting an error of: Http failed The error was Stopping httpd [FAILED] starting httpd [FAILED]. So I have played with Google and one of the items that I found was it was a "semaphores". Now what I can find on this, states that it is a Kernel issue. So if that was the case why would it stop once it had been working. I ran a httpd -t and it said that my conf files are fine. I had thought that maybe my virtual host might have been messed up. When I originally set up my VH I had not closed it correctly. So I did do that. One of the other items to note: Is that when I did the VH I had used the same IP as the machine. Which has been removed. So I am lost.. Thank you for help that can be provided. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
