trouble starting multiple instances of apache on one box

[greanie]

Hello,

I would like to run a second instance of apache on the same box so that I can migrate scripts to mod_perl and run in a single process mode. I have created a new set of .conf files and a new apachectl script with a new pid file. However, when I run the new apachectl script, I don't get a second instance running. What am I missing?

I'm using a different port.
I'm attempting to start with:
apachectl.second start -f /path/to/new/httpd.conf -X
I'm running SuSE 9.2
This is apache2

Any ideas?

Thanks,

greanie
