my bad. have not messed with Solaris 10 much. Where is your httpd.conf file? There should be an error_log defined in there. That is the real apache log.

audi_99 · August 24, 2011, 11:03pm

the configuration apache is still on /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

i think everything is normal, but i dont know what's the problem? or maybe any dependency for apache is missing.

do you know how to check dependecy software on solaris 10.

psshah · August 25, 2011, 6:04am

For checking dependencies:

svcs -d svc:/network/http:apache2

For checking dependents:

svcs -D svc:/network/http:apache2

I doubt, problem is with apache configuration. Because it is executing start method, but due to configuration issues, it may not be able to start. That's why disable is requested.

Have you modified apache config? Is it possible to restore apache configuration before modification?

Also check, if port 80 is in use or not.

netstat -an | grep "80"

Please reply if further troubleshooting is required.

thanks guys for all your support, the problem is solve. for your info

first think i do is modified the permision after i copy, becuase the default file config is httpd.conf.example ----> so i copy and i modify permision. after that i try to restart the service but the status is still maintenance, ok so i decide to to shutdown the machine. i'm waite for 1 hour then i turn on the machine again and i check again, the web server is already running dan working online.

that's what i can do, but i actually i realy thank you for all your supoort guys. i'm a new comers in solaris world.....once again thank you for all your support
