Apache 2 startup problem

Hi Guys

When I try and start apache, the service fails.

Looking in the error_log the only thing I can see is

[Fri May 07 11:19:32 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/sbin/suexec2)

Anyone else had the same issue or can point me in the right direction
to get a more verbose error message?

Thanks

"the service fails"?

Set loglevel to debug.

run httpd -X from the commandline.

If it dies, run it under gdb and get a backtrace.
