Problem starting apache web server [SOLVED]

mtrivs · 2006-02-06 08:14:57

when i start apache manually (sudo /etc/rc.d/./httpd start) i just get a fail, but when i start it through webmin i get the following:

stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Can someone tell me how i can fix this, or if it is too hard to fix, give me the name of the next best http server available?

Check your apache logs. The error is generally self evident at that point.

where are the apache logs located?

/etc/http/httpd.conf, as far as I remember.

I may be wrong here, but isnt that the config file, or is the config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ? I am so confused :oops:

logs are in /var/log/httpd/access_log and /var/log/httpd/errors_log

Mtrivis, Which config file did you modify? I seem to be having the same problem and cannot find the solution.

i had problems with apache too, but then i just did some changes:

in httpd.conf i changed user from nobody to httpd;
then added to system user httpd via adduser httpd in group nobody and it worked well

Any chance mtrivs you could tell us what you changed?

I have the same problem and am getting the same thing even after adding a differet user.
