Starting httpd: execvp: No such file or directory

jules_fraser · 01-17-2004, 08:55 PM

I removed Apache 1.3 to install 2.0 as I had issues migrating from one to the other. I have install 2.0 and also PHP 4.3.4. Both of these have compiled and installed no problem. But when I try and start up 'apachectl' I get the above error: 'Starting httpd: execvp: No such file or directory.' Can anybody help me with this as I have googled this thing to death but cannot find a satisfactory answer. thx. J

Can you give us the output of:

apachectl configtest

As this might give us and you some more insight on what could be the problem.

This is the output:

[Sun Jan 18 03:28:37 2004] [warn] module php4_module is already loaded, skipping
Syntax OK

Hmm.. that's strange. According to your configtest there then apache should start with no problems. Have you tried starting it with the httpd command?

Yes I have and the result:

Starting httpd: execvp: Permission denied

This is why I am going to the wall tk because I know that, (for once) I have covered all ground and the damn thing should just start.

Do you have anything in /var/log/httpd/error_log that might shed
some light?

what happens when you try
/usr/sbin/httpd -k start
