Re: apache stopped working :(

with all of the arch services, /etc/rc.d/SERVICE is just a shell script that starts whatever SERVICE is using it's standard command(s).  in almost all cases output is redirected to /dev/null.

viewing the contents of the script, finding what the command actually is, and running it w/o the redirect to /dev/null is often enough to find the issue.

if that doesn't work, simply man the command it's using and look for any --verbose or --debug flags you can add.

if i had to guess, you're probably getting a 'port 80 already bound' error of some sort which will require further investigation.

Re: apache stopped working :(

output from sudo apachectl start

Syntax error on line 99 of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

i don't understand i never touched these files.

edit:
ok i did add this to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf when setting up svn

LoadModule dav_svn_module       modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module     modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

anyone know whats up?

You should be you need to configure the ssl conf file properly and place the public cert you plan to use in the directory you specifiy in the conf file
