hi all I am new to apache2 and i have installed apache2 on my ubuntu machine and edited apache2.conf file wrongly .and when i am trying to start it I am getting an error massage like this:
* Starting web server apache2 apache2: Syntax error on line 236 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysiteM-D: what next i will do ? please suggest me.
Did you keep a copy of the files before you began editing them? If not, then make a note to always keep a copy. You should be able to go and download clean copies. So one approach is to go bakc to clean install.
Another approach is to study the error message. Something is wrong on line 236. Is that a line you changed? Compare it with examples you find on net, study the documentation figure to figure out jow to fix it.
It looks like actually that its your entry in sites-enabled directory that's the problem. Is that the file referenced in line 236? Compare this site file with other site files, try and spot the problem.
