Intel Xserve, Server 10.4.8, latest security updates installed.
Web services were running fine; just have a four test sites up while
we configure things.
Enabled Mail services; web died. Wouldn't restart.
System log reports:
"servermgrd: servermgr_web: Could not start httpd. Check httpd error log.."
httpd error log reports:
Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/site1.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/site2.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/site3.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/site4.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/virtual_host_global.conf
Useless.
I ran
apachectl configtest
and it reports:
"Syntax OK"
Ok...
sudo apachectl start
reports:
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 193: 9033 Bus error $HTTPD
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Starting it again gives the same error (same line #), with a different
Bus error #.
I have good backups, so backing out of this is easy, but it would be
nice to understand what happened here...
