OK, Tim, I really don't wanna have to redo the o s again, but I'll chance it
it turn it back on. Now, granted before I turned the firewall on, and
enabled access to the web sharing, but... I can try again.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
You wrote: Does anyone have the slightest clue why on my power MacG4 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...
