Re: [LUG] Apache will not start!

Hi Robin,

 

Problem solved - I'm now walking on air!

 

It was just a freakish coincidence that I was installing qmail and it stopped!!

 

I realised there was a commonality between the default httpd.conf and my edited version which is that the includes in the conf.d are still included, so I disabled the includes in the httpd.conf file i.e.:

 

"Include conf.d/*.conf"

 

and it worked!! - and found through trial and error that the php.conf file that was causing the problem so I looked at my log file i.e.:

 

"/var/log/php_error.log"

 

 and (LOL) it was over 2 gig!!!

 

By reseting my log it solved the problem!!! (for now - I'll have to do some php debugging).

 

There is some irony somewhere (i.e. the error log getting too big and causing the error!!).

 

Many thanks - for all who helped.

 

Cheers

 

Jody
