Clearly you (or some application) have (in the past) changed your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Likely, reinstalling Snow Leopard will not help, unless it overwrites the httpd.conf (and I suspect that is only the case for a fresh install, while an upgrade leaves changes in /etc intact). I would do either of the following: - manually change the LoadModule paths in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to point to the correct paths. (If you like I can sent my httpd.conf offlist.) -OR- - You can also download and reinstall just the apache distribution that came with Mac OS X (but not all of Mac OS X). You can download it here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/apache/apache-747.1/ (I have not tried it, but expect that it is simple a matter of make; make install) Regards, Freek --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
