Sounds like some kind of corrupted preferences to me then. I'd just grab
all your documents (music, movies, pictures etc.) and stash them
somewhere safe and then do a wipe. Of course a less drastic route would
be to delete various preferences files but since the problem happens on
startup it's going to be a system-wide config file. Hmm. If you create a
new user and set it up to auto-login as them, does the problem go away?
In other words, maybe this is something specific to your account alone.
If that were true it would be easier to fix.

Subject: Re: This may really seem strange, but, get a load a this
I have websharing on all the time with 10.4 and never had this
problem. Wonder if there is a corrupt preferences file someplace.
Might be worth just copying off your documents and wiping/reloading
the whole thing. Are you running disc repair by booting of the DVD?

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.
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.
I can't run Leopard for those of you who don't know. This Mac was
donated to me, and unfortunately, it only has 500mhz, so, Leopard
needs 900 minimum, so, I'm kind of no go, no show there.
Anyway, any suggestion of thought why this is consistently happenning?
Chris.
