can't start apache on FC5

[pompadir]

Hello!

I want to start apache locally (127.0.0.1), but when i write - "service httpd start"
I get "FAILED". I checked the /var/log/httpd but it's empty.

Any help would be appreciated,

thanks.

Can you look at your /var/log files for clues why httpd's pid file won't get created in the /var/run directory.

Show us:
cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
