apache loading error
 

Hi all, I've got a puzzler for ye this time..

Apache 2 on RH9 is refusing to load for me.... services gives me a afailure error.. Term tells me..
"Starting httpd: [FAILED]"

It used give me a warning saying there was a syntax error in line 116 and 124 of2 /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf"... any ideas what might be wrong?

looks like you are trying to boot with ssl

try it without it:

apachectl start

Well, if that is the line its loading or in the config file, do you have ssl installed?

More details and bigger snippets of your config file would be more helpful.

lines 108 to 125 of ssl.conf
# Server Certificate:
# Point SSLCertificateFile at a PEM encoded certificate. If
# the certificate is encrypted, then you will be prompted for a
# pass phrase. Note that a kill -HUP will prompt again. A test
# certificate can be generated with `make certificate' under
# built time. Keep in mind that if you've both a RSA and a DSA
# certificate you can configure both in parallel (to also allow
# the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
#SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server-dsa.crt

# Server Private Key:
# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this
# directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if
# you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure
# both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server-dsa.key

# Server Certificate Chain:
# Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the
# concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the
# certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively
# the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile
# when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server
# certificate for convinience.
#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt


I start apache with the command "/sbin/service httpd start"

just found in my logs...
[Fri Apr 02 23:47:21 2004] [alert] (22002)Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "customer-pool-addr168-094.cablesurf.com"

any ideas? thanks!
