Here is the subroutine in the wwwacct file giving you that message:

sub find_httpconf {
my(@LOC,$loc);
@LOC = ("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf",
"/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf");
foreach $loc (@LOC) {
if (-e $loc) { return $loc; }
}
die "Unable to locate httpd.conf"; < ---- this is line 1319
return "";
}

What it's saying is that it can't find the httpd.conf file in either of the 2 locations it's checking.

I suggest telnetting in and doing a locate.
locate httpd.conf
See what it tells you.

You better contact your server provider. You don't appear to have an httpd.conf file. Without it, you can't have websites.

You could try running
cp /etc/http.old/conf/httpd.conf /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf
to copy the one marked old to use as the real one. It may work, but I would contact the provider.

Its a test box, did I install something wrong? It's running right next to me so I can physical Contact with it.

I would just copy then. It sounds like you may have somehow deleted the file.

Says no file or Directory.

PWSowner · #9 (**permalink**) 04-25-2003, 02:20 AM

You mean you ran
cp /etc/http.old/conf/httpd.conf /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf
and it said that?

ndj1022 · #10 (**permalink**) 04-25-2003, 02:22 AM

hmm, its now saying Cannot create regular file '/etc/http/conf/httpd.conf/': No such file or Directory

I put a starter conf file on my site. It's my conf file but just the usual starter stuff with the actual account material removed. Just download it from http://www.premierwebsitesolutions.com/httpd.conf.txt then remove the txt extension and put it in your etc/http/conf directory.

Creating accounts should work after that.
