AIX 4.1.4.0  using binary obtained from www.apache.org
>Description:
I have tried several times to download and run Apache 1.2.5 on AIX4.1.4.0.

I have configured httpd.conf, srm.conf, and access.conf, then I follow this instruction (my directories are set up the same)

> And voila!  The server should be running.

Rather than running though I get the following message:

 setgroups: Invalid argument

I haven't been able to get past this point.

Thanks
