Just went from 4.11 to 5.3 to 6.2 yesterday. Thought everything went great! I was pleasantly surprised. Of course there had to be something. ;) Apache won't start. I cannot figure out why. No one I've asked can seem to figure out, either. So I turn to you and cross my fingers that this is something others have experienced. It's apache+mod_ssl-1.3.37+2.8.28 (with php4) from ports. Configtest says it's fine. apachectl start says it starts. But it actually doesn't. Nothing in /var/log/messages, nothing in /var/log/httpd-error.log - and nothing in /usr/local/etc/apache/logs/error_log. I've deinstalled and reinstalled - same problem. I did a ktrace on running "httpd" at someone's suggestion, even converted it to text using kdump.. so I have it.. but am not really experienced with that, so I really have no idea how to read it. I think that's about it. Thank you so much for your help! Chris

I upgrade by uninstalling all packages, cvsup, reinstall all packages. It turns out that I had forgotten to re-install cronolog which I use for log rotation. Without it apache dies siliently on startup. Check you havent got a similar thing going on. cheers, -pete.

Maybe your upgrade installed the default hosts file so you dont have any more entry that apache used to figure server's fully qualified domain name. -- One cannot sell the earth upon which the people walk Tacunka Witco
