Hi all- I spent all day trying to get apache2 installed via fink on my new iMac (intel) with 10.4.
I was having problems with: fink install apache2 The dependencies (particularly the mpm) were failing. I finally figured it out... Something in the "configure" portion of the apache-mpm-* script actually runs httpd. If the server fails to come up clean, the configure bails. However, it doesn't shut down your httpd. So, what you need to do is make sure that httpd can come up cleanly. Usually at least you'll have apache2ctl installed, so you can use stop/start to try to do this, or if need be, kill. Definitely use ps since the failure can result in apache2ctl not seeing a pid file and thus *incorrectly* reporting that apache2 isn't running. Since I was also running the built-in httpd, the apache2 one couldn't come up and that was the problem. As soon as I killed the built-in one, the "orphaned" (/sw/sbin/apache2), and reconfigured the apache2.conf so that it could come up, I was able to complete the install. Just wanted to post this since I wasted about 8 hours today figuring this out. Good luck, Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
