 Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 2:10 am Post subject: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart FAILURE!!! |
 |
|
I have run a few versions of apache2 on gentoo and never had problem restarting like this...
Apache verison: 2.0.55-r1
Just about every other time I try to restart:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Stopping apache2 ... [ ok ]
* Starting apache2 ...
httpd (pid 30896) already running |
Then I run:
| Code: |
# ps auwx | grep apache
root 434 0.0 0.0 1492 464 pts/0 S+ 17:52 0:00 grep apache
|
It seems like apache is trying to start again before it has shutdown completely
Nothing unusual in the logs.
I saw the whole entropy thing. It didnt seem like my problem, but I installed rngd anyway just to troubleshoot. It didnt help.
The only thing I notice is the apache defunct in the process list.
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop && ps auwx | grep apache && /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Stopping apache2 ... [ ok ]
root 849 3.8 0.4 21168 10344 ? Ss 17:56 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/lib/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start
apache 850 0.0 0.3 19532 7276 ? S 17:56 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/lib/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start
apache 851 0.0 0.4 242460 8976 ? S 17:56 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/lib/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start
apache 853 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 17:56 0:00 [apache2] <defunct>
root 945 0.0 0.0 1496 468 pts/0 S+ 17:56 0:00 grep apache
* Starting apache2 ...
httpd (pid 849) already running
|
Which results in apache not running at all.
| Code: | [ ok ]
# ps auwx | grep apache
root 1001 0.0 0.0 1496 468 pts/0 S+ 17:56 0:00 grep apache
|
Then to get it started again I need to:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
* Stopping apache2 ...
httpd (no pid file) not running [ ok ]
|
And finally...
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ... [ ok ]
|
Here is how I emerged...
| Code: |
# emerge -pv apache
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1 +apache2 -debug +doc -ldap -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker -no-suexec (-selinux) +ssl -static-modules +threads 0 kB
|
I suppose I could always stop apache wait a few seconds then start, becuase it has no trouble doing that... but how sad.
I would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't really solve the long term problem. Apache simply will not restart on its own.

You could edit the init script and put the zap command in for restart and start so you won't have to do that manually. It seems that when apache is stopped, it fails to remove the pid file, it could be a bug, but I don't really know.

Yeah no need to use zap as the init scripts already take care of it. Restarting apache again resets apache to the proper state.
Looks like it might be a bug. If I use apachectl it works perfectly.

I've had the same problem since June last year. Not so annoying since I restart apache once in a blue moon 
Other than that it's just fine.
Let us know if you find what's causing it. |

ok still not sure exactly why this a problem, but I have a solution.
I added this to the bottom of /etc/init.d/apache2
| Code: |
restart() {
stop && sleep 2 && start || return 1
}
|
and all is fine.
Note: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart vs. /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
You should only use reload... The only reason I have ever needed restart is when I added a new SSL vhost.
"reload" is really graceful restart.
