>Description:
>From the FAQ, this error cause that "group directive (conf/httpd.conf) needs to name a group that actually exists in the /etc/group file."  So I made groupid and groupname.

In my /etc/group, I add followling lines,

root::0:root
groupname:password:groupid:memberlist

In my /etc/nsswitch.conf, I add following lines,

group:  files  nisplus

Unfortunately, I still can't start the server.  If you know any other answers or options, please send to me an email..  Thank you.
