I just installed Leopard on iMacG5 and everything went off very well. However when I restarted and looked at all the usual preferences, I launched the terminal and tried : [2008.07.03](02:06PM) -> [username] ~ $ ps aux | grep httpd username 305 0.0 0.0 599740 388 s001 S+ 2:07PM 0:00.00 grep httpd --> which showed that Apache was not running, so I tried : 2008.07.03](01:59PM) -> [username] ~ $ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/ LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist Password: launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): /Library/ LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist nothing found to load --> And that didn't work so well, so I tried : [2008.07.03](02:07PM) -> [username] ~ $ sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/ apachectl -k start Password: /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl: line 70: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument --> which showed an error on line 70 of apachectl --> but it tried to see if it launched anyway, and it did as it shows below [2008.07.03](02:07PM) -> [username] ~ $ ps aux | grep httpd username 320 0.0 0.1 97264 1204 ??
