apache fails

[temak82]

I am not able to get apache to run. I am running the 2.0.36 version through Webmin. It's installed in the /usr/local/webmin/apache directory. Any ideas how I can go about trouble shooting this?

I checked the httpd.conf file and it all seems ok. I did setup a new ServerName, saved it, but it does not reflect at the prompt (still at the default root@localhost).

Thanks for the help

tried starting it at the command line so you can capture errors?

[temak82]

can you please elaborate on how I start it from the command line? I used service httpd start and it failed.

Hmm, Redhat then?

Usually there's an error listing the line number that the error is on isn't there? Could be in one of the other supporting config files too...

[je_fro]

well for me it's:
apache2ctl start

try that and report any errors....

Ok, thank you. I will do that.

I am running CentOS 4.2 on this server. It did work before, however, after setting a site up via Webmin, it stopped starting. I didn't really change anything in the httpd.conf file.

Thank you
