> [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs]$ tail error.log [Tue Nov 22 11:27:59 2005] [warn] pid > file /usr/users/itisgrp/servers/able/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean > shutdown of previous Apache run? makes me suspect that at least one of the apache instances do not create the PID file in the correct directory. In this case, fad may be creating the pid file in the directory of able. Check the PidFile directive in the apache configurations.
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ truss -o /tmp/output httpd start The only trace this will give you is from the script that starts Apache. You should at least give the -f option to truss.
