Error = HTTP 404 ERROR NOT FOUND
root@nimrod3:/usr/local/netdisco# tail /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
tail: cannot open `/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log' for reading: No such file or directory

Then I tried to locate the error_log, but there is no such file
root@nimrod3:/usr/local/netdisco# locate error_log

I did everything up to http://www.netdisco.org/install.html#11__start_apache

Anyone know what may be the problem or need any additional info? Feel free to post.

Thanks in advance.

Does the directory

/usr/local/apache/logs

exist, and is it writable to the user running apache?

locate only works when the database is up-to-date (as far as I know). Try find / -name error_log -print 2>&1 |grep error_log instead. Using this 'difficult' construction (the stuff after -print) suppresses error messages related to permissions.

What is the URL that you try to access?

Please post your httpd.conf.

root@nimrod3:/usr/local/netdisco# cd /usr/local/apache/logs
root@nimrod3:/usr/local/apache/logs#

root@nimrod3:/usr/local/apache/logs# ls -l

what does that have to show?

root@nimrod3:/usr/local/apache/logs# ls -l
total 0

root@nimrod3:/# /usr/sbin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 6 of /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco_apache.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Jason

hash out the line with perlmodule in /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco_apache.conf and then try to start apache.
