I left httpd running last night by manually starting it. I then did a
service httpd restart this afternoon. Here's the restart:

[root@(protected) sbin]# ./service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [FAILED]
[root@(protected) sbin]#

And here's the error_log:

[Sun Feb 05 04:02:20 2006] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest
authentication ...

Waiting for data... (interrupt to abort)

The 13:49:44 appeared when I did the restart. Nothing appeared after that...

THANKS!

Harold
