Apache Start Error On Solaris 8

[slen]

I have compiled apache 1.3.24 with the latest PHP on a brand new Solaris 8 install....everything went fine, but I am now getting an error on the apache start as follows....

./apachectl start
httpd: Cannot find ELF
Killed
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I cannot find anything in regards to this error...anyone got any suggestions?

Try "/usr/sbin/httpd start" and see if that works. If it does then the problem is just with apachectl. If Solaris uses another path, then use "whereis" to find httpd. As for the ELF error, that is usually caused by a corrupt binary file. This will happen if you tranfer a binary file in ascii mode or somtimes when moving a file from a Windows partition to a linux partition. If you open a binary file with a text editor, you will either see garbage or "ELF" in the upper left corner. I am assuming this is the ELF the error is crying about. If it isn't, then I haven't got a clue.

try "apachectl configtest" i think is the proper comand see if that comes up with any errors
