Thank you Christian for your help/information.Actually come to find out, problem was with php module. PHP was being called from main config file and from users config file. Once I commented out users LoadModule php line from his config file, I was able to start up apache 1.3.28, but thanks again for the useful information. I will save your e-mail response for future references.
Best wishes and thanks again Kenny At 11:23 PM 12/16/2005 +0100, you wrote:
Hi there, You can try to run it directly from the command line without the init-script. Just call the httpd directly. That way you see him exit. Then make sure you are looking into the right error.log. It does not need to be the one in your config file. Your httpd has a hardcoded error log, that is used until it can access the error.log defined in the config. Check the documentation of your distribution And finally you can start the command with "strace" or your local dialect's tool of choice. That way you will see the error killing your process. hope this helps, Christian On Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 01:11:08PM -0500, Ken Murach wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I have a user who starts up apache 1.3.28 by running a script and giving > the script the argument of start > > This was working, but now the user is unable to get this to start up > anymore?? > > Even as root, I am unable to start this up and there are no errors being > recorded in the error log file?? > > Says apache is starting and pauses for a few seconds before returning me> back to a prompt but when I do a ps -ef | grep httpd | grep dev, it doesn't> show up?? > > Here is what I'm doing: > > itis-appdev # pwd > /etc/init.d > > itis-appdev # ./httpd-dev stop > kill: 17557: no such process > > itis-appdev # ./httpd-dev start > Starting the DEV instance of Apache web server > > itis-appdev # ps -ef|grep httpd | grep dev > root 21398 1 0 Dec 02 ? 0:00 > /usr/local/apache_wds_dev/bin/httpd -f > /www/dev/wdsphproot/apache-conf/httpd.co > nobody 21403 21398 0 Dec 02 ? 3:28 > /usr/local/apache_wds_dev/bin/httpd -f > /www/dev/wdsphproot/apache-conf/httpd.co > nobody 21405 21398 0 Dec 02 ? 3:37 > /usr/local/apache_wds_dev/bin/httpd -f > /www/dev/wdsphproot/apache-conf/httpd.co > mladan 23178 23172 0 Dec 02 ? 0:01 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/stemcell/apache-co > mladan 23172 1 0 Dec 02 ? 0:00 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/stemcell/apache-co > vtole 3794 1 0 Nov 28 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd > -f /usr/users/vtole/servers/mydev/apache-conf/httpd > vtole 3798 3794 0 Nov 28 ? 0:02 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd > -f /usr/users/vtole/servers/mydev/apache-conf/httpd > mladan 23173 23172 0 Dec 02 ? 0:01 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/stemcell/apache-co > vtole 3795 3794 0 Nov 28 ? 0:02 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd > -f /usr/users/vtole/servers/mydev/apache-conf/httpd > mladan 5699 1 0 Nov 28 ? 0:00 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/harvie/apache-conf > mladan 5700 5699 0 Nov 28 ? 0:01 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/harvie/apache-conf > mladan 5759 5699 0 Nov 28 ? 0:01 > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f > /usr/users/mladan/servers/harvie/apache-conf > > > Here is script that is used to start up this instance of apache: > > itis-appdev # cat httpd-dev > #!/usr/bin/bash > # > # Paul Lembo March 2003 > # Start up the Apache DEV web server > > case "$1" in > 'start')> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include:/usr/local/ssl/include:/usr/local/ssl/lib> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH > if [ -x /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -a -f > /www/dev/conf/httpd.conf ]; then > echo "Starting the DEV instance of Apache web server" > /usr/local/apache_dev/bin/httpd -f /www/dev/conf/httpd.conf > fi > ;; > > 'stop') > pid=`cat /www/dev/logs/httpd.pid` > if [ X = "$pid"X ]; then > echo "WARNING: Cannot open pid file, trying ps output" > pid=`/usr/bin/ps -fu root | grep -v grep | grep apache_dev > | grep httpd | awk ' { print $2 } ' ` > fi > if [ X = "$pid"X ]; then > echo "HTTPD is not running" > else > /usr/bin/kill $pid > fi > ;; > 'restart') > pid=`/usr/bin/ps -fu root | grep -v grep | grep apache_dev | grep > httpd | awk ' { print $2 } ' ` > if [ X = "$pid"X ]; then > echo "HTTPD is not running" > else > /usr/bin/kill -1 $pid > fi > ;; > > *) > echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }" > exit 1 > ;; > esac > exit 0 >> Any ideas as to why it says its starting but doesn't and doesn't record any> errors in the error_log file?? > > Any help is greatly appreciated. > Thank you > Kenny > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Christian Folini - <christian.folini@xxxxxxxxxx> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
