Maybe the length of it precluded most people from reading the message fully.
That and the lack of information contained within it...

The 'unary operator expected' error is indicative of a poor piece of shell
programming.
However, the fact that the script then continues and tries to start Apache
shows that this is not the real problem.

Glenn: did you bother looking in the Apache webserver error logs? If you
did, then what did they say? If you didn't, I suggest you acquaint yourself
with the following scenario:

Open two different shells on the RaQ.
In Shell 1, type "tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log" (May be error.log, try
it)
In Shell 2, type /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

Watch the output in shell 1. There's your answer as to why Apache won't
start. And try to be a little more informative and less panicky in future!

BTW the admin panel is started from /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv, the logfiles
for that are in the same place as the webserver logs only prefixed with
"adm_"

HTH
