Error trying to start httpd on RHEL 6
 

I am trying to start httpd on RHEL 6 and getting this error. I've searched for solutions, but am stuck currently.

Print out of my problem:
[user@server conf]$ sudo service httpd start
[sudo] password for user:

Thanks

your libmemcache.so.0 is in /usr/local/lib, not /usr/lib. This probably means you installed it from source instead of RPM? I presume that /usr/local/lib isn't on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, but rather than make it so, I would suggest installing the libmemcache0 RPM from yum instead.

Could you post line 203 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf? It's probably a good idea to include lines 202 and 204 as well.

Is /usr/local/lib mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf?

Have you tried running ldconfig?

^ what he said.

I also want to add...that if you're going to use RHEL; you should stick to thier repos as they probably won't support anyting compiled from source.

--C

I have found file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-64.conf does not exist.
I have created it as seen below and then ran ldconfig and now httpd starts. Thanks a lot.

cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-64.conf
/usr/local/lib
