WPE - Apache not starting

[Jon Crain]

I'm trying to get the Web Publishing Engine started on an Intel Mini using OS 10.4.6 and FMSA 8.0 v4 (the one just released to work with Intel Macs). I'm having trouble with getting apache started. When using System Prefs->Sharing, the Personal Web Sharing never starts up. So under terminal running apachectl graceful brings up

Filemaker-Server:~ localadmin$ apachectl graceful

/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful: httpd not running, trying to start

Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf

 Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/localadmin.conf

Syntax error on line 1 of /Library/FileMaker Server/Web

Publishing/web-configuration/WEB-INF/conf/mod_jk.conf:

Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_jk_fm.so into server: (reason unknown)

/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful: httpd could not be started

Anybody have this issue, or know how I could troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Solved my own problem. The WPE was never truly stopped, so it would not install the update correctly.

Followed the directions from here http://www.filemaker.com/support/updaters/fmsaweb_8v4_mac.html

and got everything working.

Yes, it is very important to stop all 3 OS X daemons:

FileMaker Server Helper daemon

FileMaker Server daemon

FileMaker Web Publishing

Here are some Terminal commands:

[color:red]

fmserver_helperd stop

fmserverd stop

sudo SystemStarter stop "FileMaker Web Publishing"

Each of these also has a start command. And the FileMaker Web Publishing also has a restart command.
