--- Comment #2 from Eric Lee <e...@peartreefarm.org.uk> --- Here's the error log. You'll see that the first error in caused by a client request rather than server start-up, giving me little clue to the detail of the server-side failure: ================================================================= $ cat /fs01/log/mwhandbook/apache2.4.25/mwhandbook/mwhandbook_mwhandbook_error.log.1489594412 [Wed Mar 15 16:13:32.746587 2017] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 1459:tid 140629072512768] AH00292: Apache/2.4.25 (Unix) configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Mar 15 16:13:32.746645 2017] [core:notice] [pid 1459:tid 140629072512768] AH00094: Command line: '/fs01/app/sw/apache2.4/apache2.4.25/bin/httpd -d /fs01/app/mwhandbook/apache2.4.25/mwhandbook' [Wed Mar 15 16:13:38.071787 2017] [cgid:error] [pid 2124:tid 140629006206720] (22)Invalid argument: [client 10.64.149.155:55669] AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: /var/www/cgi-bin/tnspp [Wed Mar 15 16:42:00.627351 2017] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 1459:tid 140629072512768] AH00298: SIGHUP received.
