apache wont start sasy failed and thats all

[robertd18]

Failed to start apache :
Starting httpd: [FAILED]

thats the error i get any sugg?

 

[sleipnir214]

Yeah.

Tail Apache's error logfile in the background before you try to start the server again. Look in httpd.conf for an ErrorLog directive that does not appear in a virtual server configuration to find out where the log is.


On my system, I do:

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log &

Then I try to start the server again. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

and i changed the name of the IPv4 to an ip address

now the error we get is

Failed to start apache :

Is that IP address bound to your server's NIC? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

[robertd18]

i dont know it was assigned to me by the server co and it is supposed to be directed to this server

 

[robertd18]

never mind...we were using the newer version and found that we were missing some files so are going to use 1.3 instead
thanks

You may have the same problem with 1.3.x. In order for a virtual server to bind to an IP address, that IP address must be available on a network interface.

One problem that can crop up is NAT. The routeable address your ISP has assigned to you may not be the one bound to your server because of some NATting going on at your network border. If so, then you will need to direct Apache to bind to the non-routeable address to which incoming packets are routed. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
