-If you are running a live box you should always backup httpd.conf,
srm.conf everytime you make changes to it. eg:-
cp /somewhere/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /home/backup/
So if you make a mess of it you can always bring apache back up by using
http -f /home/backup/httpd.conf.
- In regards to your apache problem.
If you installed Apache using the RPMS you should have no problem.
What lines in httpd.conf did you modify recently?
Can you attach of copy of the lines in httpd.conf you modified recently?
- you should never recompile apache using the source. linux rh's
/etc/rc.d/init.d is such a "pain" to deal with. You must install apache
install apache using the RPMS because it actually deals with the pain of
messing with /etc/rc.d
Looking forward to your feedback
