>Description:
This:
# check for pidfile
if [ -f $PIDFILE ] ; then
Should be:
# check for pidfile
if [ -s $PIDFILE ] ; then
in apachectl. A zero-length placeholder file will cause grep errors
the first time apachctl is run to start the server (not enough arguments
to grep).
>How-To-Repeat:
% > ${PIDFILE}
% apachectl start
>Fix:
See Description.
