guys i have upgraded apache 1.33 to 1.34, here was the results: Executing install script for apache-1.3.34-i486-2... Package apache-1.3.33-i486-1 upgraded with new package ./apache-1.3.34-i486-2.tgz. BUT when i tried to start apachectl, there was an error: root@darkstar:/usr/sbin# /usr/sbin/apachectl start /usr/sbin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started root@darkstar:/usr/sbin#

what seems to be the problem?

here was the problem:

Package apache-1.3.33-i486-1 upgraded with new package ./apache-1.3.34-i486-2.tgz.

i have committed a mistake... the package that i upgraded was for the CURRENT slack, it should be (-1).tgz NOT (-2).tgz

NOW my apache has been started.. ( i got the right package using gftp)
