hi,
I'm trying to start the http server from the inets distribution, but
haven't been successful.
any help would be most appreciated. I swear I'll learn how to use
the debugger soon 
-Lyn
here is what happens when I try to start it:
> erl -config inets
Erlang (JAM) emulator version 47.4.1
Eshell V47.4.1 (abort with ^G)
1> application:start(inets).
{error,{shutdown,{inets_sup,start,[normal,[]]}}}
=INFO REPORT==== 19-Jun-1999::17:30:04 ===
application: inets
exited: {shutdown,{inets_sup,start,[normal,[]]}}
type: temporary
2>
this is inets.config:
[{inets,
[{services,[{httpd,"/tmp/erlang-http/conf/httpd.conf"}]}]}].
and this is /tmp/erlang-http/conf/httpd.conf:

I got it to work (almost) right away.
Here are a couple of things you could try.
1. In the inets.config file. Make syre you insert
a newline after:
[{inets,
[{services,[{httpd,"/tmp/erlang-http/conf/httpd.conf"}]}]}].
The Erlang parser is a bit picky....
2. I had to create a 'logs' directory under my ServerRoot dir.
3. I also removed some of the modules. I include my
inets.config file and conf/httpd.conf file below.
4. Copy a HTML page from somewhere else to <ServerRoot>/htdocs/index.html
(So that you can test if you get something back)
5. To get some more info printed at start up. Start Erlang like this:
erl -boot start_sasl -config ./inets
6. When you point your browser towards your Web server,
don't forget to specify the port number you have specified, e.g:
http://10.0.0.1:8888
7. Watch if you get something in the logs/access_log file, e.g:
tail -f logs/access_log
