Hi Chris,

AGP Graffics running Tiger 10.4, every time I enable web sharing, so I
can use apache, all goes fine, but then if I ever restart the system,
for one reason or another, the system shows the gray screen with the
apple logo, then that goes away and the logon screen starts to come
up, but then it never finishes.
TK: Have you tried simply turning on Web sharing then quickly
restarting your Mac? This may help to determine whether it's really
anything to do with the Web Sharing resource. Does it restart
normally if Web Sharing is not turned on?
CB: This to me is incredibly annoying. The only way I've seen
around this is running a disc repair, and sometimes that won't even
work and I have to then just reinstall Tiger with an Archive.
I'm beginning to feel the Mac version of Apache isn't worth the
trouble.
TK: The Tiger version of Apache is quite stable and switching to
Leopard would likely make no difference to you at all. I run the
Tiger version of Apache to serve my school web-site at
http://fathermercredi.com
with no issues at all. It has run without a hitch for years through
numerous software updates and web-site changes. There must be some
other factors in your situation.
CB: Anyway, any suggestion of thought why this is consistently
happenning?
TK: As in my questions at the top of this response, I think we'll
need more info before really coming up with an answer to this. We'll
need to narrow down the factors that contribute to the problem.
Later...
