When I try to start Apache, it spits out:

"(20014)Error string not specified yet: Error retrieving pid file logs/httpd.pid"

The document root is set correctly, and Apache used to load fine. I have no clue what to do. Any ideas?

Well, that made me feel dumb. I just removed the file, and tried to startup Apache, and it worked!

There's a parameter "zap" that you can use with the startup scripts:

Code:
/etc/init.d/apache zap


will do this for you if things get confused...
