Help troubleshooting new Apache installation on HPUX 11.31

UNIX HP-UX

Hi Guys!

I have a very odd problem while installing Apache in an HPUX 11.31, What I did was downloaded the latest webserver suite from hp software, installed using swinstall, everything was extracted properly.

The apache version was 2.2.15

Now the issue comes when I run it, it starts normally but after a few seconds it starts to log some odd errors that I'm not familiar with... check them out:

[Sat Dec 13 00:18:37 2014] [notice] Apache/2.2.15 HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8zb

[Sat Dec 13 00:18:39 2014] [alert] No active workers found... Apache is exiting!

The apache starts but then immediately exits, i tried changed the IP address in the Listen, and ServerName directive to localhost or any other configured ip in the server but I still have that error... I'm starting to think that theres a problem with the apache version but at this point I'm so clueless..

Please post the output of:

apachectl -V

Even when I've not found the issue per se, I was able to determine that the HPUX server has the libraries messed up for 64 bits, so all I did was download and install the apache for 32 bits and it worked.

So if you ever face this problem again it has to do with the 64bit libs.
