An Apache HTTP Server document can be seen as a general solution similar to a problem with a server program.
If you are having trouble with your Apache server software, you shoshould take the following steps:
-
Check the errorlog!
-
Apache tries to be helpful when it encounters a problem. in our cases, it will provide some details by writing one or more messages to the server error log. sometimes this is enough for you to diagnose and fix the problem yourself (such as file permissions or the like ). the default location of the error log is/usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log
, But seeErrorLog
Directive in your config files for the location on your server.
If you end up in any of the Support forums this is quite likely to be the first place they will ask you retrieve information from. please ensure you know where to find your errorlog. if you are unsure, the wiki pageHereCan give you some ideas where to look.
