All,

I realize I'm a total noob at this, but I can't seem to get the Apache server (2.0.49) to give me the "Success" screen that Chapter 1 tells me I should get.

I've followed all the directions in Appendix I in the back of the book...what's up? I don't want to move on to setting up PHP and MySQL until I get the success screen.

Has anyone else had this error, and can help me? Here's what my Apache Error log says:

Please help.
Thanks (in advance)!

Just to help narrow down the scope of the problem, are you installing apache on Linux/Unix or Windows? Also out of curiosity, what does your httpd.conf look like?
