Re: httpd failed (OK)

Hi Sudhakar,

Thanks for the help. Now httpd is working. No errors.

What you meant by Is your computer connected to net ?
Even during this error I was able to connect to Internet & download the mail as
well as browse.

1) I have created the /etc/hostname file and the contents of it are :
    localhost.localdomain.

2) Now my /etc/hosts file has the following contents :
    127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain        www

3)  My /etc/resolv.conf file has the following contents :
     domain                  localhost.localdomain
     search                   localhost.localdomain
     nameserver            202.54.1.30
     nameserver            202.54.17.30

Is everthing correct ?
Thanks again.

Regards


Rajesh
