RE: [users@httpd] apache won't start again

Perhaps something php-ish bound the process.

 

This caused it to ‘hang’

 

Restarting the process with force-reload deleted the PID file and killed the controlled processes, leaving the one bound to port 80

 

Restart apache, and it won’t because it sees port 80 is bound.

 

 

This is not a verbatim account, your results may vary.

The good news it there was no PID to remove.  The great news is that I killed the processes as you suggested and started apache.  It came up like nothing ever happened.

 

It does leave me with a WHY question tho.

Why or how did the PID file disappear?

 

Well, at least now I know what do to next time it happens.

 

Thanks,

Make sure there are no apache processes running – ‘ps –aux’

Remove the PID file

Start apache – apachectl start

 

Then see where you are.

Hello,

I am currently running an apache server on Sarge and I am having problems bringing back up the apache server after it mysteriously decided to stop :

 

www:/var/run$ /etc/init.d/apache start

 

Starting web server: apache.

 

I try to check a set and the web server times out.

So, I  tried to reloading the configs:

/etc/init.d/apache force-reload

 

Result:

 

Reloading apache configurationNo process in pidfile `/var/run/apache.pid' found running; none killed.

Failed

 

 

Try a config test:

apachectl configtest

 

Result:
Syntax OK

 

In the apache log:

[Wed Mar  9 06:27:31 2005] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful restart

Does

Thank you in advance,
