ok... our problem might go beyond that... when I do a httpd -v I get:
ld.so.1: ./httpd: fatal: libexpat.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
Thanks.

I thought you could run a 'httpd -v' or apachectl -v or something like that, but no dice. Anyone want to fill me in on how I can determine this information?

run this: 'find / -name 'libexpat.so.0' and see if the missing file is on the system - it most likely will be. It's just not in your search PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Once you locate it, add that dir to one of the variables mentioned above and try it again.
Another command you can try is 'ldd </path/to/binary>' which will give you the list of all the dependent libraries that binary needs to run.
Well, Solaris 8 shipped with Apache 1.3.9 and was later upgraded to 1.3.36 via a patch. However, neither of these
had libexpat as a required shared library, so apparently you are not using the pre-installed and support Apache
that came with the system. Apache version 2 does need libexpat, so that is probably the major version number. Another
way to figure out the version number is to run this command on the httpd binary:
strings httpd | grep Apache/
This will output a few lines, one of which will have the version number.
Of course, if you want to run it, you will have to deal with the libexpat issue.

If you are using Apache then httpd -v or -V will give you the version.
