Hi,
I've been used to modifying the Apache 1.3 httpd.conf
manually on MacOSX 10.1.5 and 10.4.x (Client).
Well that can be problematic, as I think you see. Caution is required.
I've needed to make changes to this file on 10.4.x Server, and
I've used the GUI in Server\ Admin.app as far as possible, but after
a while I do something and Server\ Admin.app reports the Web service
as unavailable. In most cases I have manually altered the module
lists and load order.
Because it can't parse the files. ;)
By a process of elimination, I think it's something to do with
enabling HTTPS, and, despite what I said about manual changes to
httpd.conf, it appears the problem occurs even when making all
changes via Server\ Admin.app. The one server where I have not
enabled HTTPS allows me to start and stop the Web service, and on
this server only I still have access to the Web service Settings
pane.
And how, exactly, have you configured this?
Since I and many others are doing this successfully it would point me
towards something in your configuration. If you care to describe it
rather than just pontificate you might get more useful information.
On servers where Server\ Admin.app thinks the Web service is
unavailable, httpd is running (via apachectl and the StartupItem),
and the status thing (results from mod_status.so ,
http://localhost:9010/server-status ) still works as expected and as
per httpd.conf, sites/*.conf etc.
Can anybody suggest how I have broken the interaction between
Server\ Admin.app, servermgrd and Apache 1.3, and how I might go
about fixing it?
I'm out of goats and the doves just don't have the necessary entrails ;)
You might start by looking at the responses from servermgrd (they're XML).
Or you might start by replacing/removing the files you've changed
with virgin ones to see which one is the culprit.
