Apache fails to start as a service, but starts fine in debug mode

  • 772

For reference, this is Apache 2.2.15 on Fedora 13.

When I try to start httpd as a service like this, it fails:

# sudo service httpd start
Starting httpd:                                            [FAILED]

Nothing in the /etc/httpd/logs/error_log file.

I tried running it interactively in debug mode like this:

# sudo httpd -e DEBUG

And it runs just fine...

Any idea what could cause it to fail when being run as a service? Thanks.

    Problem solved. It was SELinux. Sometimes that blasted thing causes more trouble than it's worth.
