RE: Unable to start HTTPD , apache web server

Edit your httpd.conf – the first line has a syntax error that’s causing it to fail.  It looks like you have a left parenthesis ( that doesn’t belong.

Subject: Unable to start HTTPD , apache web server

 

Hi,

 

I have downloaded & installed following apache binaries (x86/Solaris 9)  from http://www.sunfreeware.com/, The Operating system is SunOS 5.9

 

 apache-2.2.15-sol9-x86-local.gz

 expat-2.0.1-sol9-x86-local.gz

 libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-x86-local.gz

 libiconv-1.13.1-sol9-x86-local.gz

 openldap-2.4.16-sol9-x86-local.gz

 openssl-1.0.0-sol9-x86-local.gz

 sasl-2.1.21-sol9-x86-local.gz

 zlib-1.2.4-sol9-x86-local.gz

 

all these were installed without any error, 

and also configured httpd.conf, but when i start httpserver by issuing command 

$ ./apachectl -k start . it gives me following error

 

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected

 

i have also tried directly executing ./httpd but it gives the same error.

 

Has anyone faced any such issue ?

 

Thanks.
