Hi all,

After John installed DA on my FreeBSD 4.9 server I coul'd see the Apache welcome screen on that machine (66.199.224.98). I followed the first steps on the newinstall.html page. After doing the IP management (give in 28IP addressed) I checked the webpage again and Apache was down. I did a start, a restart, but nothing. I reboot the server but Apache is still down. However AD is still up and running (strange for me when a webserver is down). Someone any idea?

Via DirectAdmin nothing, so I have to jump into the server and searche the logs...

Now I logged in I tried starting apache as admin. This is the problem I think:

server# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
server# httpd: bad group name admin

I found the answer in http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1902 (Thanks Webcart).
I manualy the group file by adding the user admin, restart the server and now Apache runs.

Thank you all who replied ans shows me the way to resolve the problem.
