Ok after some time of digging I found I found in /etc/init.d/ directory there are following files apache apache2.1 and apache2.2 I remember long time back when I had installed it was only apache but surprisingly I find these two files apache2.1 and apache2.2 also. Now when I did /etc/init.d/apache2.2 start then it started working but I correctly remember I had not created apache2.1 or apache2.2 or apache either so what could be the reason for creation of these files which had created this problem? ----- Original Message ----- From:James Godrej <jamesgodrej@xxxxxxxx> To:"users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sent:Wednesday, 30 March 2011 3:39 PM Subject: Here is a small problem one of my server was shutdown for 2 months due to a migration activity. After 2 months when one of our vendors finally has migrated it when I boot the machine then I do not see any response in Apache logs.More over when I start or stop or restart Apache2 /etc/init.d/apache2 status I do not see any output. /etc/init.d/apache2 stop or /etc/init.d/apache2 start even does not show any thing I mean output and also ps -el | grep apache2 does not give any pid that shows Apache is running so what can I do to start apache here? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
