Apache/Jserv installation on HP-Ux

[Jesper Andersson_1]

I have installed apache 1.3.20 and Jserv 1.1.2 on a HP-Ux 11.00. I have installed it on apache default location /usr/local and have used packages from the apache & JServ home pages.

But when I try to start apache it shutdown immediately. I have checked the httpd.conf and it looks okay to me (have only installed apache on Solaris before). In the error log the only thing I can see is:

Hello,

Check the group id of all file where apache has installed. If a similar number is there for some file change it by using chgrp -R dir.

It looks like apache is trying to startup using group nobody, i.e. -2. Change this to some other group in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf file and make sure that all the apache files are owned by this group.

Hope this helps.
