    Are any useful messages in apaches error.log?

  • the only thing I know is thats related to apache. I have attached the system log file.

  • Look in apache's error log: /var/log/apache2/error_log; that'll have much more relevant info than the system log.

i had the same problem, if i run

sudo apachectl -t

i get :

httpd: Syntax error on line 117 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib\n Referenced from: /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so\n Reason: image not found

it says it can not find "/usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib" so i simlinked with :

cd /usr/lib

sudo ln -s libpq.dylib libpq.5.dylib

  • Could you clarify how this is (a) the same problem as the original poster's extremely vague question, and (b) a helpful answer?

  • i had the same error in system.log but you are right maybe it is not exactly the same cause. At least the original poster can see that if he run "apachectl -t" he can have more details on his problem

  • It is an helpful answer because it helps to find out what (and where) the error is occurring. In my case, the apache error_log wasn't getting logged - it was going to the system log, similar to the question from OP
