Have you made any recent changes in your httpd.conf file lately? If yes, then back comment them out and see if the service will start up agai - you may have to change how they're written. I'd add an 'if not' clause here but I can't see how a service on a box would just up and die and stay dead like that unless one of two things happened: 1. most obvious thought is httpd.conf 2. second chance is any patches to the overall system could change a library or some other resource that httpd calls on. smtpd did the exact thing to me a few months back and I never figured out anything more than it was a kernel upgrade I'd tried to do that was only partially successful - had to end up building a new box - but it would start successfully and die as soon as it was touched. Hope this is helpful :] just trying to add my two bits of help since I've been getting a lot of it myself lately. <EOL> Tib On Mon, 13 Nov 2000, James McLaughlin wrote: > When I run > /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart > it returns > shutting down httpd: FAILED > starting httpd: OK > > I then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status > it returns > httpd dead but subsys locked > > Anyone seen this before or do I need to ask the Apache list?? > > TIA > > Foam > > >
