Hello. I am having the same problem as you. It happens only after last upgrade to httpd (I use macports). It was working without any problems but now I get this initgroups warning followed by a Fatal error. And Apache exists. I use httpd 2.2.14 with mod_ssl and mod_jk (linked to jBoss) I know I can't help you with the solllution but maybe there is some test I can do... or maybe you alreado found the sollution :-) Ignacio Lists wrote: > > I am bumping this one, since it saw no action at all.
