Hello Sander, Thank you very much for your reply. Both ServerRoot and LockFile has 777 permissions. Still I am facing the problem. Do we need to change the configuration file .. One more thing .. Its working on the same machine where it is build but we copied the binaries to someother machine .. There its giving this problem. Do we need to copy any other files/directories other than httpd directory ( prefix directory). Please help me ..

What value have your ServerRoot and LockFile directives? The user that starts Apache (if not root) needs write access to the directory where the PID file, the logs and the accept lock file are.
