general FreeBSD questions [renamed]

BOD · December 2004

I installed freebsd 5.3 in VPC and i installed apache.

i'm following this readme: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 ... pache.html

it wont let me start the apache service, i changed httpd.conf so it was right and now when i run

/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start

it gives me

/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

is there anyway of finding out why it cant start?

Q · December 2004

Check the httpd logfiles?

BOD · December 2004

Q · December 2004

See if /etc/httpd/logs/ exists, if so check in there.

Take a look there. I think it will work with BSD also.

Did you install it from ports? If so, the log files should be in some fairly obvious spot. The error log will tell you what went wrong (it's most likely a syntax error in your httpd.conf :P).

yea, i used the boot only cd and it downloaded the whole thing from their ftp, ill look around and see what i find

Ugh, don't use sysinstall. :P

Just do it like this: pkg_install -r [package name]. That'll download + install the binary. If you want to compile yourself, CVSup your ports collection, then just cd /usr/ports/category/app, make, make install.

i discovered that
