Hi Thomas, I'm working through the same problem (I think). I have upgraded by thinkpad from 7.1 to 7.2. There were *lot's* of issues that I managed to resolve. The only think left is apache. In 7.1 I could lenter "localhost" into Netscape and get a local copy of the Suse Help stuff. Not I do not get a connection. When I start apache with /etc/init.d/apache start I get: root@nehi:/etc/init.d > ./apache start Starting httpd [ SSL PERL Jserv Tomcat ] Syntax error on line 17 of /opt/jakarta/conf/tomcat.conf: ApJServManual: cannot be specified more than once per host unused /var/log/httpd/rcapache.log says: Syntax error on line 17 of /opt/jakarta/conf/tomcat.conf: ApJServManual: cannot be specified more than once per host I've played with removing and reinstalling packages but no joy. I removed: authldap jserv mod-perl jakarta apache apache-contrib and reinstalled: apache apache-contrib mod-ssl (starting apache gave me an error that required an ssl shared lib) mod-perl jserv and finially jakarta. I tried starting apache after loading each module. Apache wouldn't start until apache, apache-contrib, and mod-ssl were loaded. After that apache started and I got a web page from "localhost" but not the SuSE help stuff. Adding mod-perl and jserv made no difference. Adding jakarta gave me back my original error. I commented out the portions of "/opt/jakarta/conf/tomcat.conf" that were causing the complaints. Commenting out one gave another error. After removing enough stuff the errors went away, apache started but no SuSE help page. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks, --Gary Manning

Do a "killall -9 httpd" then try "rcapache start" again. Look in /var/log/httpd/error_log and correct any errors reported. HTH, Jeffrey Quoting Thomas Bishop :
