10.2.3 - G4/450DP/1GB. web sharing worked perfectly up to recently, and probably (but not confirmed) since I upgraded to 10.2.3 it fails to startup. The box is checked but the status remains "starting up" in the Sharing panel of the sysPrefs.

Any clue anyone?
PS: I did not edit any particular setting in Apache, neither install any special hack.

Try running the following command from Terminal:

% apachectl configtest

If it's your configuration file, this will tell you.

yes indeed, thanks:
Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'exec/httpd/mod_negotiation.so', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration


what do I have to do?

In the command line, type:

% sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Then, type Control-W which will allow you to search. Type "negotiation" and the line it brings you to should be the line in question. In my configuration file, it looks like this:

LoadModule negotiation_module libexec/httpd/mod_negotiation.so

My guess is somehow, "LoadModule negotiation_module lib" was removed from that line.

I found the following line in the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule negotiation_module libexec/httpd/mod_negotiation.so

It seems OK...

Can you post your configuration file somewhere? You can e-mail it to me if you'd like (xeo at silter dot com). To get it, you can run this command:

% cp /etc/httpd/httpd.conf ~/Desktop

and pick up "httpd.conf" on your Desktop.

I will figure try and figure out what's wrong. It's giving you a syntax error on line two but complaining about mod_negotiation (or at least a line that contains it).

Running the following command:

% cat /etc/httpd/httpd.conf | grep negotiation

I get this:
LoadModule negotiation_module libexec/httpd/mod_negotiation.so
AddModule mod_negotiation.c
# then use content negotiation to give a browser a file in a language
# in case of a tie during content negotiation.
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>

That's all the lines in my httpd.conf that contain the word "negotiation." That's one step I will take if I get your httpd.conf file.

Wow, you're config file must be very messed up. Send it to me and I will see if it's salvagable.

As another option, if you haven't customized it in anyway, you can just use pacifist to reinstall the httpd.conf file from your OS X install CD.
