Apache Won't Start

Plesk 7.5.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 Apache wont start. I'd love to tell you what /usr/local/psa/apache/logs/error_log says but it is basically blank for this time period. A couple of hours ago it says: File does not exist: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/default/htdocs/favicon.ico Somehow this being over 2 hours ago and not repeating I find it hard to believe this is the problem. Am I looking in the right place for error's? I have had nothing but problems with Plesk on FreeBSD and I am about ready to turn in my key to my provider and go back to doing things the easy way, NO control panel. I must say it is very convienent having SW Soft support M-F 9-5 as we know things never go down on the weekend :p
 
If you execute the command
1. killall httpd

2. /usr/local/psa/rc.d/httpd start

what happens ? ( copy and paste result )
+ check your webserver is now running?

Also

everytime apache starts or trys to start something will appear in the error log

/usr/local/psa/apache/logs/error_log

It seems strange yours doesnt

Obviously the permissions are correct. or it would not write anything.


/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/webmail/favicon.ico

I get this all the time in my log files.... doesnt cause any harm, however rather annoying i guess
 
it is saying on my box as
/usr/local/psa/rc.d/httpd start
Plesk: failed to start Apache server
