RE: HTTPD coring

["Suttle, Marc" <Marc_Suttle@NAI.com>]

I tried staring it manually-heres what I got.

"bash-2.05# apachectl start
Memory fault (core dumped) 
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started"

This is a plain as you can get install...I did not install the x libraries
or games......the only customization I have made is to rc.conf (turned off
sendmail) (and turned on http).  The only packages installed have been bash
and pico.  I am using dhcp at the moment on the network.

Could this be hardware specific? I am running an amd k6 300 with 64 megs of
ram.  Any more help would be appreciated.  Also there is an external modem
pluggesd in. (tun0)


Thanx,

Marc

Well, Apache ships with OpenBSD and is always installed by default,
so it is kind of part of OpenBSD. Usually it works just perfect
after the fersh install though...

Marc said that it's a fresh install of 2.9, so the binaries should be fine.

Apache gives error, but does not dump core if there is a problem with DNS...

Marc, have you tried starting Apache manually?
( apachectl start | restart | stop )
