Apache wont start in FC3-test1

[Bill Maidment]

Hi

Apache fails to start with this error in x86_64 FC3-test1

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 289 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory
                                                            [FAILED]
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf contains

DocumentRoot "/home/httpd/html"
 

yet ls -la /home/httpd/html gives


[root at mailold root]# ls -la /home/httpd/html
total 3104
drwxrwx---   53 wwwroot wwwroot   4096 Aug 21 16:02 .
drwxrwx---   16 wwwroot wwwroot   4096 Aug 13 23:53 ..
etc....

and /etc/group contains

wwwroot:x:501:wwwroot,apache,mail,bill,mary,defang,ftp

The same setup worked OK on i386 FC3-test1.


Can anyone explain what is going on? How do I fix this?

I'll give more info. if needed.

Cheers
Bill
