httpd.conf not ok!

I am new to this whole thing, but I followed this tutorial to set up a server: http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/perfect_setup_debian_sarge/

the installation of ISPConfig was doing just fine until the very end when it checks to see if all the packages are installed. I get the following error -- can anyone help?

ERROR: The syntax of your httpd.conf is not ok! Please correct the error. The installation routine stops here!

Much obliged.

 

Run

Code:

httpd -t

to check the syntax of your httpd.conf. You should then get a message telling you what's wrong.
Is your Apache running right now? I guess not because of the errors in httpd.conf...

 

Debian 3.1

Some errors with Debian Sarge.

If we install apache package or apache2 package we have an error "The syntax of your httpd.conf is not ok!"

The command httpd -t don't work BUT apache -t OR apache2 -t work and the result is Syntax OK.

I think there is an error in setup2. It test only httpd and stop on error. It don't test apache or apache2 command.

 

That's not correct. setup2 checks if there is a httpd, httpd2, apache or apache2, and creates a symlink called httpd if necessary:

Code:

echo
  echo "########## WEB SERVER ##########"
  echo
  which httpd > /dev/null
  if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    which apache > /dev/null
    if [ $? == 0 ]; then
      ln -s `which apache` /usr/bin/httpd
    fi
    which apache2 > /dev/null
    if [ $? == 0 ]; then
      ln -s `which apache2` /usr/bin/httpd
    fi
  fi

  echo $q_httpd_check
  which httpd
  if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    which httpd2
    if [ $? != 0 ]; then
      error "httpd not found!";
    else
      ln -s `which httpd2` /usr/sbin/httpd
      echo OK
    fi
  else
    log "httpd found: `which httpd`"
    echo OK
  fi
fi  ## install_art == install

  echo $q_httpd_syntax_check
  httpd -t
  if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    error "$q_httpd_syntax_check_not_ok";
  fi
  echo $q_httpd_syntax_check_ok
  log "httpd syntax ok!"

After the installation, you should have a program "httpd", be it a binary or a symlink to httpd2, apache or apache2. You can check with

Code:

ls -l `which httpd`

 

I test 3 times today, he don't create it. I've always this error after accept the license :

./setup2: line 617: httpd: command not found

Near this line, i see the ligne where the symlink is created but it doesn't

 

Yes, I run the ISPConfig setup as root

I will reinstall my debian sarge box with this howto tonight and i retest the installation.

Is httpd, httpd2, apache or apache2 located in your PATH? Run

Code:

echo $PATH

to see what your path is.

Then run

Code:

which httpd
which httpd2
which apache
which apache2

to see if any of these programs is in your path.

 

Great

You find the error.
The path was'nt in $PATH.

Thanks a lot.

 

it maybe caused by a broken httpd link already present

so try :

Code:

rm usr/bin/httpd

and try the install again
