Hi

I APACI installed apache 1.3.27 logged as a user.

When I type /home/my-account/apache/PREFIX/bin/apachectl start I get the following;
______________________________________

fopen: No such file or directory

httpd: could not open error log file PREFIX/PREFIX/logs/error_log.

/home/my-account/apache/PREFIX/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
______________________________________


It sounds similar to this presently unanswered post;

Can anybody help?

I assume these are not real paths and the error
was PREFIX/PREFIX/log/error_log.

if so, mkdir -p PREFIX/PREFIX/log or
mkdir -p /home/my-account/apache/PREFIX/log
and retry
