Hi J.A.X,

Which distribution are you using?

Could you please paste the apache error log so that we can have a look.

Hi T3RM1NVT0R,

I'm using Fedora 16.

The apache error log is located at /var/log/httpd

but there are many files there, which one you need :)

thank you T3RM1NVT0R

Please paste the output of the following:

1.2.

I've attached the /var/log/messeges file

and the /var/log/httpd is a directory and here are its contents :

[root@localhost khalid]# ls /var/log/httpd/

Don't worry about error_log as I can see:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Nov 25 16:10 error_log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9311 Oct 9 22:09 error_log-20111013

The existing error log is showing as 0 KB and the other error log is old one. However in /var/log/messages I can see httpd encountering segfaults due to perl. Did you change anything in httpd configuration?

Here is the abstract on the basis of which I am thinking that some configuration is changed either on the perl end or at httpd end:

Run the following command and see if anything get updated in error_log:

1. service httpd stop
2. service httpd start

Then run:

cat /var/log/httpd/error_log

Nothing new, the file is still 0 KB

[root@localhost khalid]# service httpd stop
Stopping httpd (via systemctl): [ OK ]
[root@localhost khalid]# service httpd start
Starting httpd (via systemctl): Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
[FAILED]

I think I've messed up my Fedora (in purpose of learning :) ), now my audio driver is not working too.

thank you T3RM1NVT0R for trying to help

but I'm goiong for re-installation.

You're welcome. Just a bit of advice. If you are using distribution/distributions for learning purpose then install them as virtual machine. Take a base snapshot. This will save you from re-install time/headache involved.

Please mark the thread as solved if you no longer require suggestions on this one.

Enjoy linux!!!

thanks for your advice, I will install a virsual box in windows, I think this will save me alot of time.

cheers
