    I forgot to say that if i start httpd by hand, it works fine with my
    httpd.conf, only problem is that the script wont start httpd..

    Alright... heres the story. I reinstalled apache, and it works. It turns
    out that the reason it wont start is my httpd.conf, i never guessed that
    because running a "/etc/init.d/httpd" configtest gives me "Syntax OK"..?

    I have made a diff on the original httpd.conf and my problematic
    version, and attached it to this mail. I hope one of you guys can help
    me out here, why wont apache start with this httpd.conf? Is it because
    of the www user maybe (even though its a bit oftopic)?

    Note: in the diff file, the first is the original, directly followed by
    my httpd.conf
