I've been trying to make a new install of webwork on a RHEL6 machine with lots of difficulty. Currently, when you add the link to webwork.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d apache no longer starts. 'apachectl restart' gives the error:
apachectl: Configuration syntax error, will not run "restart":
webwork.apache2-config: WeBWorK server is starting
webwork.apache2-config: WeBWorK root directory set to /opt/webwork/webwork2 in webwork2/conf/webwork.apache2-config
webwork.apache2-config: The following locations and urls are set in webwork2/conf/site.conf

webwork.apache2-config: The webwork url on this site is http://*removed*

Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/webwork.conf:

where everything after the first line is also the output of apachectl configtest. I can't seem to even begin to figure out what the actual issue is. Has anyone seen this before and can make some suggestions?
I tried all the permission checking suggestions in similar threads.
Thanks,
Ben
I would suggest there might be something funny at line 429 of the file WeBWorK/ContentGenerator/Instructor/SetMaker.pm.
You might look to see what is there. Perhaps a corrupted file?
Take care,
Mike
I had a similar thought and actually looked at the file compared to a working version of webwork and didn't *see* anything different. With your suggestion I went one step farther. The file size was different, so I replaced the file with the one from the working webwork and it seems to be starting now. I'll finish the install script and see if I can get everything working.
ok. all seems good now. I guess the file got corrupted somehow.
