Rob, Thanks for your quick response. I checked and I do not have a directory /var/log/httpd. In var/log I do have lots of log files - adduser, auth.log, cron, dmesg.today, ftp.log, lastlog, maillog, messages,mount.today, ppp.log, sendmail, setuid.today, slip.log, userlog and wtmp. I displayed several of these and the only one, which looked like it contained something you might want to see is messages. Following is the last portion of that file. Again thanks in advance for any suggestions you can give.

Things were running fine until storms took out the power over the July 4th week-end and the system needed to be re-started. This system was set up by a third party company who no longer provides support. So, I am trying to determine what the problem is.

If I go to usr/local/etc/rc.d and type apache.sh start and press enter, then display my processes, I see the same thing.
