Installing Apache on a Solaris maching...

[Jumpem]

I execute "apachectl start", but there aren't any httpd processes showing up. Does the machine need to be rebooted after APache is installed?

Nope.
It should at the very least say something.

Try "apachectl configtest".

That returns "Syntax OK".

When I try "apachectl start" I get this in the error_log:

[Thu Jul 22 19:52:24 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Thu Jul 22 19:52:24 2004] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: Digest: error generating secret: No such file or directory
Configuration Failed


Google isn't helping much with it.

Sounds like you have Digest access control enabled?
Maybe it can't find the digest access file?
Grep for "Digest" in your httpd.conf

What Apache version is it by the way? And how did you install it? Package or source? Etc...

It's version 2.0.43. It's a prebuilt binary frum the apache site. The machines I need to install on are not allowed to have compilers on them, so my choices are limited.

Thanks Sunner! This prebuilt version had "LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so" in the httpd.conf. I commented it out and it seems to start properly now.
