I doubt that missing something in the build of the kernel would prevent a file from being created. Some more information would be useful.
When you say linux, do you mean Red Hat? How exactly are you attempting to start it? What user and group are you starting the server as? A copy of your httpd.conf configuration file (with any data you don't want made public removed) would be most useful. - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I know it sounds cocky, but I honestly believe that one day there'll be a telephone in every Town in America" - Alexander Graham Bell (my paraphrase) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 03 January 2003 18:19 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: httpd won't start > > > Hi all, > > I can't start httpd on linux kernel 2.4.20 which I compiled. > The error > message is: > [Fri Jan 03 11:11:18 2003] > [error] (38)Function not implemented: > Cannot create SSLMutex file `/var/log/httpd/ssl_mutex.575' > Configuration Failed > > I have checked all file and directory privileges.
