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.

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.

rm: cannot remove `/var/run/httpd.pid': Permission denied  [FAILED]

/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?
