 Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2005 6:17 pm Post subject: apache2 won't start + eth0 won't read on boot |
 |
|
Unfortunetly all the error I get is [ !! ]. Is there a log some place?
Anyway, I ran 'emerge --update world' and it took away eth0. Completely. So, I started over and ran
| Code: | modprobe tulip
ifconfig eth0 ...
route add default gw ...
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
Ok, back up with no problems. So I go and start the other things that couldn't start before:
| Code: | netmount
sshd
apache |
Maybe I'm missing one that needs to be mounted first, but apache2 refuses to start. emerge didn't update apache (as far as I know). I checked the config files and they're the same as I left them.
I figured maybe I needed to reboot. Or if I didn't need to, maybe it would still fix my problem for me. Nope. Not only did it not fix it, it completely took off eth0 again. O.o There a way I can get eth0 to read on a boot? I'd hate to have to run something for it every time...
Edit: Oh, and when I try to get to my server, instead of getting refused/can't be found/etc, I get a "document contains no data." No idea what that means, but maybe it'll help. |

One would hope so, yes.
Does /var/log/apache2/ sound too far-fetched to you ?

No it didn't - you did, when you ran etc-update without checking.

That's nonsense; the tulip module should go in /etc/modules.autoload - as per the Handbook, and the network settings go in /etc/conf.d/net - also as per the Handbook.
The last line would actually screw those up for you again - unless the settings in /etc.conf.d/net were correct to begin with.

Examine output of
and verify that they are actually in a runlevel - if not, they will never start.

Then examine the apache logs and correct your configuration - as (obviously) per the Handbook/Guide/whatever.
You've heard of documentation, no ?

...and then again, maybe not.

 Didn't help anyway, though. Just said it couldn't figure my IP out.

 this was the entire problem. ^_^ I had it there, but the update took it out.  thanks. <= Fixed.

Yeah, they tried to start. They just failed because eth0 wasn't up. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Yeah, the /etc/modules.autoload was what I was missing. /\

Thanks for the help!  |

| I've already read the Installation part. I'll get to the other part eventually. I'm usually too busy to stop and read something that long. ^^; |

Yeah.. that's the trick with Gentoo: without the handbook, it isn't actually a functioning OS
