Hello, I'm using iMac intel chip with mac osx 10.4.6. I have the problem on Apache webserver: 1. On my system preferences/sharing, personal sharing check box is off. So i can not make it on. 2. localhost doesn't work, apache need to be resatart. I try to go to terminal and type sudo apachectl start ( sudo: apachectl: command not found ) and sudo apachectl graceful ( sudo: apachectl: command not found ). Please help me. Thanks, Deni

  The solution for me was to re-edit the 'httpd.conf' file. The problem started after I installed php software and was told to remove the '#' from the lines '#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so' and '#AddModule mod_perl.c'. By putting them back, my Personal Web Sharing now starts.

  I'm having the same problem, also using a macbook and os 10.4.6. It occured after one of two things - probably the second...
  1. I installe x-code. I don't think this is the problem, but I hadn't checked apache since I did this.
  
  2. I tried to build php4.3 (i am new to working with unix in this way, and have never built/compiled - only used binaries.) It wasn't working out, so I tried to undo what I did by removing the files I had installed. This also involved installing and using fink, and installing some libraries, which I probably should have read more about before I did. I was trying to follow instructions, but I must have done something wrong.
  
  I have already replaced the httpd.conf with the httpd.bak. This did not help.
  
  The message I am getting in the console is:
  
  Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
  Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
  fopen: No such file or directory
  httpd: could not open
  
  but that is not true because that path and those files do exist.
  
  Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  I started yesterday, installing php and mysql from a cd I got with a book. The php-installation did not succeed, I don't know why...
  Trying to start Apache, this message shows:
  
  Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
  Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
  Syntax error on line 8 of /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf:
  Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)
  /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
  c-8fb5e055:~ alfasthlm$
  
  Does anyone understand what this means? And WHERE do I find these "lines" to edit them???
  
  Best, Al

  try removing the +entropy-php.conf file or make a backup
  something like
  
  sudo mv /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf /where/you/want/backup
  
  
  if you want to take a look at the +entropy-php.conf file
  just open terminal and type
  
  cd /private/etc/httpd/users
  
  
  open +entropy-php.conf
