That's right. It'll also show you if you're running the version of Apache you think you are. Ie, make sure you're starting the 2.0 by the full ...apache2/bin/apachectl path if you still have the 1.3 on that box too. Along that line. here is a handy alias I use almost every day when doing webdev stuff: alias ers "tail -f /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log"
