[Prometheus-library] Apache kit httpd start problem

[Gary N. <gni...@ch...>]

Hi,

I downloaded apache_kit-7_76.tar.gz and installed it as follows:

/usr/bin/perl build.pl --redhat-6 --apache-dir=/usr/local/apache/php
--build-imap --build-php3 --build-php4 --build-mod-perl 

I am running a VALinux Intel box with RedHat Linux 2.2.14-5.0.14b. The
install went great, except that whenever I start the httpd session, I am
told that ./apachectl start starts the httpd process, but it really
doesn't. It is not listed when I do a 'ps -ax'. I ran a ./apachectl
configtest and was told the syntax of my httpd.conf file is fine. 

FYI, I have three other installations of apache on my server -- one at
/etc/httpd, another at /usr/local/apache running mod_perl, another at
/usr/local/apache/java running tomcat -- each listening to a different
port (8080, 8081 and 8082). I have successfully built apache
many times. I killed all my httpd processes and tried starting my
apache_kit install listening to the default port and still, nothing
happened.

What do you recommend I do? Should I try another install? Is there
something I am missing here? I perused the logs and found one entry that
appeared to indicate something went wrong in the install, but other than
that the log files look pretty good. The entry:

[activating module `php3' in /usr/local/apache/php/conf/httpd.conf]
