Apache2 on Solaris 10 does not start

Hello everybody
I get this

Does the directory /var/apache2/logs exist have write permission for the
user you sue to run Apache?

Thanks Ian for your suggestion. I've checked and everything is ok.
But I do not know much about solaris security options.
Now I can't run gedit I thing I've been hacked or something...

In fact I have 2 boxes running Solaris. The old one is running solaris
10 3/05 and I am using the sfe driver for the nic card
Each time i had to connect to the internet I do the following things
modprobe <sfe-dir>/i386/sfe
devfsadm -i sfe
ifconfig sfe0 probe
ifconfig sfe0 dhcp
I would like to know how to do that automatically at solaris start up
I succeded to compile an old version of ipfilter and I want to
integrate it with the sfe0 interface for security reasons.
I thing this staff is good for learning!

Solaris doesn't have modprobe, that's a Linux thing (I'm assuming you meant
modload). Where is this sfe-dir? Is the driver you're loading installed
properly, or is it off someplace else on the filesystem? Does

grep sfe /etc/name_to_major

... produce any output?

I have the following tar balls : pfil-2.1.13.tar.gz and
ip_fil4.1.13.tar.gz
Does it make sense to install these things for security?
I succeeded to compile ip_fil4.1.13 with gcc and gnu make.
I don't know how to install it.

No. Because Solaris already has IPFilter.

Don't. Just make sure you have SUNWipfr and SUNWipfu packages installed.
And you probably do.

You're following the "Testing" instructions which are for... testing. If
your testing works - as in it doesn't destabilize your machine - then you
can proceed with a full install. Which is described further down the
document you've cut and pasted that snippet from.
