[users@httpd] could not log pid to file /var/run/httpd.pid

[Terrence Brannon <me...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I wrote a configuration file and attempted to start apache with it using:

apachectl -d . -f ./filename

however...

 1 - my errorlog states:

 [Sat Dec 03 05:17:02 2005] [error] httpd: could not log pid to file
/var/run/httpd.pid

 so my first question is: is this error fatal? or did Apache continue
to startup? Is there a verbose mode for apache startup that would make
this clear to me?


 2 - I dont understand why the Order directive was rejected. DId I
need to load something for this to work?

 3 - Here is my httpd.conf. I just want to get the server going for starters.
