Hi All, Just upgraded apache to 2.0.40-11-9 and when I restarted it.. I had this in the logs [Fri Dec 19 16:16:07 2003] [crit] (17)File exists: unable to create scoreboard (name-based shared memory failure) something about the /var/run/httpd/httpd.scoreboard file This is what is stated in httpd.conf # # ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information. # If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an # anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party # applications. # If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same # scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK. # #ScoreBoardFile "/var/run/httpd.scoreboard" I tried putting ScoreBoardFile "/var/run/httpd.scoreboard.new" (which worked previously) rm -rf /var/run/httpd.* and re-starting httpd still does not work. It only worked after I commented it out.. So.. Should I leave it commented or _un_commented??? Cheers, .^.
