Micheal-
that was really good advice. I ran 'etc/init.d/httpd restart do and it
failed, but it told me why. I had a syntax error on line 176, which for
me was the ip address and the port to listen on. I fixed the error by
looking at the examples. After I fixed it I tried to restart it again,
and it told me that it failed, but no reason why. I tried typing in
'tail /var/log/httpd/error_log' and I got:
[Tue Mar 04 20:40:34 2003] [alert] (22002)Name or service not known:
mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "bushman"
Configuration Failed
I'm still checking into that, but you guys are helping me a ton.
Thanks for helping out! I'm kind of new to mailing lists, and it's easy
to see why so many post on this one.
thanks again
Tyler
