apache2 not working: Starting httpd2 (prefork) fails
 

I have installed MySQL, Apache2, PHP, Perl and Python on my SuSE 9.1 prof.
On the day of the installation the Apache server worked, but on the next startup, it reports:

Starting httpd2 (prefork) failed

I've no idea what to do: searched google, but it only shows me rpm packages of httpd2 prefork MPM, which I've already installed.

-K

Can you post the contents of your error_log file.
