rebuilding mandriva 2006, missing apache file

babag · 03-24-2006, 11:49 AM

i'm rebuilding a mandriva 2006 box (let my 9.2 installation
get too out of date so doing a rebuild). getting complaint
in starting httpd that '/etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf'
is missing. doesn't seem to be anywhere in /etc/httpd when
i look for it. did i forget to install something that would
create the file?

thanks,
BabaG

the file is as you point out not in /etc/httpd but in /etc/httpd/conf/

thanks monolegis. have it working now. mandriva2006 apparently doesn't even
need that file. seems to have come from a crossed up installation. removed
all of apache, removed the /etc/httpd directory as well and did a complete
'urpmi apache' and everything is working now. speculation was that the
original install got some apache1 files in there causing the call for the
unused file.

thanks again,
