Hello,
I instaled Fedora 7 and I am trying to configure Apache web server and with;

rom -q httpd I get " httpd -2.2.4-4"

/sbin/service httpd status

httpd is stopped"

/sbin/service httpd restart

"stopping httpd: [FAILED]
"starting httpd;: [FAILED]


I activated httpd at services but could not run.


Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks

RA

Sorry there is a typo on command "rpm" not "rom"
as stated on my previous post.

Sorry, have to ask, are you root doing this?

Your apache log file will tell you what is wrong. It should be under /var/log/httpd or /var/log/httpd-admin.


A user who is not authorized to run that command would get a permission denied message because they would not be able to remove the process identifier.

/var/log/httpd is an empty directory and there s no such /var/log/httpd-admin

That's where it usually goes. See if you can find this file:
httpd.conf

From the command line, type in sudo updatedb
Then:
sudo locate httpd.conf

How did you install Apache?
