Web sharing locks up while starting up.

I have been working all day to get cgi scripts to run on the localhost. I could display .html files with no problem, but could not get the scripts to run. So following online instructions, I was editing the config file through Terminal. On the last test, I could not connect to the server with any browser. I opened the sharing folder in System Preferences, clicked the box beside Personal Web Sharing and it seems to lock up in the starting up mode. It never completes its task.

I have restarted the computer, but that did not change anything.

Help??


Mac OS X v.10.4.7
PowerPC G4
 
Fixed! There was a syntax error in one of the private .conf files. From the Terminal window, I ran the following command: sudo apachectl restart. It flagged the error for me -- a misspelling. So I am working again.

Now back to trying to make thee cgi work.
