Apache server not working

[Marko_3]

Hi all

I have installed the Apache server for HP-UX binary on my L-class Unix box.

However I could not start the apache server. The error message shown in the error_log is as follow:

[Mon Feb 5 11:17:11 2001] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: setgid: unable to set group id to Group 4294967294

Can anybody help?

Thanks

It sounds like the group that apache belongs to is invalid. Did you do a chown and chgrp on the files to set them to the appropriate ownership? I would double check that. If the group is correct, then check your /etc/group file and see what the GID is set at for that particular group and make sure that is correct.

In the httpd.conf file are two entries for the User and the Group. By default, these are set to 'nobody'. HPUX does not like that. Assisgn to valid user and group ID.

I created a group www and a user www and pointed my http.conf script to this user/group.

That worked fine for me.
