Apache 2.0.40 error and does not run

[S. Johnson]

Hi Bob,

I think I talked with you earlier today on the phone about an IMAP 
problem.  Thanks
for getting back to me.  I am mounting the NFS file system using /etc/fstab 
and the
mount -a command.

Here's the /etc/fstab information for the NFS mounts:

#NFS Mounts
192.168.1.3:/nfs-srv/db         /db     nfs 
bg,nfsvers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
192.168.1.3:/nfs-srv/isp        /isp    nfs 
bg,nfsvers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
192.168.1.3:/nfs-srv/users      /users  nfs 
bg,nfsvers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0

This was working before.  I restarted Apache while the NFS mounts were not 
working
correctly and the httpd.conf file has virtual sites with directories in 
both /isp and /users
that it could not access and died with error complaining about not being 
able to find
those site.  When fixed the NFS problem and attempted to restart Apache 
after that,
I started to get the other error:

[Mon Sep 29 09:11:28 2003] [notice] Digest: generating secret for 
digest  authentication ...

Let me know if you need more information.
