Comment 7 for bug 153863

I've just been googling this error message and was brought here - I'm getting this message in Ubuntu

Kubuntu 7.10 GUTSY
Linux: 2.6.22-16-generic

I get this when attempting to stop apache2 (or restart)
> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

==> error.log <==

I found this coz I'm having other errors to do with configuring multiple SSL hosts (with multiple IPs) under a single apache installation. I do not know if this error message is related to my SSL problem - yet - but is there a simple way to fix this problem without taking the full risk involved with going over to Hardy Heron?

Thanks,

Sean
