Hi guys.. 

Ive been pulling my hair out for the last couple of hours over this to no
avail... 

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8
P4 2.8
512mb RAM


I 'had' a working apache13+modssl installation along with mod_perl.
Everything was working perfectly until I decided yesterday to portupgrade
the machine.

I started off with perl being portupgraded via  'portupgrade -rR perl'

Then I did the php modules via portupgrade php-* 

And anything else that I missed then got done as well.. 

Everything now shows that its up-to-date eg.. 

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.24_1      =   up-to-date with port

however whenever I try to start apache with apachectl startssl it gives :

/usr/local/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd started

but does not start.. nothing at all appears in the logs (error or access)
even with debug enabled.. the only message that appears is in messages

Sep 22 17:44:23 server kernel: pid 77689 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

Ive searched high and low for a solution, but to no avail.. 

Ive deinstalled and reinstalled, deinstalled / install distclean etc etc but
no diff.. 

The sad thing is that this was working perfectly yesterday albeit with
versions that haven't been updated for 2 months.. 

What have I done wrong ? and how do I go about rectifying it ?? 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. as my web server is still down at
the moment.. 

Thanks in advance
Steve
