Re: install nightmare (actual email)

Hi Joe, are you sure that you edit the right httpd.conf? Rename the httpd.conf, call 'apachectl configtest'. It should not work any longer ... Have a look into the apachectl script (it's not a binary). You should see where your httpd binary is located. Ruediger Joi wrote: > Hi...
