Hi Ben, That sounds like a log file with bad permissions.
You might want to : chgrp -R web /home/httpd/*/logs/* chmod -R g+w /home/httpd/*/logs/* or maybe the problem is permissions in /var/log/httpd/* One way to solve it in panic mode could be to comment al the logs directives in the virtualhost sections then try to start apache, try to locate where is the problem of write permissions. Hope this helps, Cheers, ---Reply to mail from Ben Kennish about Apache not coming up - PLEASE help me! > Hi all, > > I have a weird problem with Apache not coming up for one of our > clients and I can't for the life of me work out why. > > NO errors are being reported to the error log (which is writable by > 'web') - as proved by running "httpd" as admin and getting.... > > fopen: Permission denied > httpd: could not open error log file /sites/shared/logs/weberror_log. > > .... which is NOT displayed when running "httpd" as web (this also > proves that the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is being parsed. > > netstat on the host reports nothing listening on port 8080 for this VS > and ps on the VS reports no "httpd" processes. > > So I su to web, type "httpd -t" - config fine.
