Hi,

I think I encountered this problem long ago.

If I remember it correctly, I think I tried setting the ServerName in the httpd.conf file.

Open the httpd.conf (should be at /opt/local/apache2/conf) and set the ServerName.
Once I did that, Apache 2 started fine on start up.

You can also try running: /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl configtest and see if there are any issues with your httpd.conf as well.

Regards,

I have done some extensive research and have followed all the setup instructions I can find, but apache2 still requires a manual start on my 10.4 iMac.

When I run "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.apache2.plist", the response is "already loaded".

Manual start doesn't report errors and apache works fine once I do that, but I'd like to not have to remember to start apache next time my power goes out.


... snip ...

I found I had problems with launchd on 10.4 as well; in your situation I would usually do a 'launchctl unload -w /Library...' followed by a 'launchctl load -w /Library...'. This seemed to give launchd the prodding it needed. Note also that if Apache fails to start, repeatedly (due to configuration errors), I believe launchd will eventually turn off the daemon and leave it off, such as how init under other UNIXes handles runaway processes.



The only other bit of info is that occasionally, I see something about "bonjour" (couldn't find it just now, though). Also, mysql is starting up just fine...


Mysql starting OK indicates that launchd is working well (though I suspect you'd be having much bigger problems if launchd was actually broken :). Can't help you with the Bonjour messages, I'm afraid...
