IBM HTTP Server 7 with 2 instance on single machine

Hi All,

I have configured 2 instance of IHS on single machin with different conf files (two IP address x.x.x.73/74) running perfectly.

I have restarted my system for some maintainance work and tryed to start both the instance, but failed. only instance1 is started not instance2. If I stop the instance1 and start instance2 it will start. I can only start any one of them at a time.

I have checked the event log and it says "The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Unable to open logs"

What is the problem with it? if I remove both instance and re-configure will it work even when I shutdown or restart the server.
I am using windows 2003 Standard Edition with SP2.

Please let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
Kamalakar B.
