 Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2003 6:56 pm Post subject: apache :: invalid command LogFormat |
 |
|
i've just installed gentoo and i'm very satisfied with it..
but when it comes to apache grrr.
so what is the issue?
i have merged apache(1.3.27) and mod_php i have edited /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf
and when i'm about to execute /etc/init.d/apache start this error prevents it from starting...
| Code: | * Starting apache...
Syntax error on line 17 of /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf:
Invalid command 'LogFormat', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration [ !! ]
|
i have commented those lines that contained LogFormat,CustomLog and Alias but after /etc/init.d/apache start still woun't start
| Code: | * Starting apache...
[ !! ] |
the /etc/init.d/apache script is ok because with a little bit tunnig in the apache.conf(in fact mass options deleting) apache finally starts but when i type lynx http://127.0.0.1 ...404 not found and though index.html is the speciffied path ( /home/httpd/apache -as i set it)
when i type lynx http://127.0.0.1/index.html the server displays only plain text (and it is not lynx's fault i asure you)
any help will be wellcomed
anyway until now iti is the fastest and more stable distro that i tried
p.s. sorry for the bad english

LogFormat is part of the log_config module... make sure in the top of the apache.conf with the other LoadModule/AddModule lines, you have the following lines:
LoadModule config_log_module modules/mod_log_config.so
AddModule mod_log_config.c
Also, if you'll post your apache.conf we could help a lot more

thanx for the answer
in fact it was my mistake because i was putting the LogFormat options after loading the modules...and after i corect that issue apache still would not start
here is the /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf file
| Code: | User apache
Group apache
ServerAdmin black_adormen@linuxmail.org
ServerType standalone
ServerRoot /etc/apache
ServerName http://127.0.0.1

| Code: |
wget http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/apache_1.3.27.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apache*
rm *.gz
cd apache*
./configure --prefix=/bla/bla/bla
make
make install
/bla/bla/bla/bin/apachectl start
httpd started
|
voila!!
it seems to me that the ebuild sucked!!
thanx God the tar.gz from www.apache.org didn't !!!
p.s.after all who needs apache optimization

Sorry about the delayed response, I just rolled out a backup server and have been fixing various glitches and such with it... anyway...
It look liek you fixed things by getting fresh config files from the apache site itself... The first error in the config that you had looks like the ServerName line:
ServerName http://127.0.0.1
ServerName should usually be a hostname, such as:
ServerName psivamp.garjasp.com
(that's an example from my config)
Let us know if you have any other config questions.

the ServerName was my mistake,i was in a hurry
but that was the only error,and apachectl configtest was returning a Syntax OK!!(after correcting the little mystake)
and though apachectl start could not start the httpd...
so the question remains...why apache from apache.org started and why the emerged apache didn't??
i think it was the level of optimisation in the CFLAGS that i used...
now i use O2 and i'm trying to merge apache again...
i'm just not giving up with the optimisation such easily

Your problems have nothing to do with the ebuild, in fact the ebuild is quite well built.
When you started apache via /etc/init.d/apache and it failed, the startup script wrote to /mnt/.initd/started that apache had already been started.
this seems to be a common problem in the startup scripts of gentoo, even if the startup script fails, it will still act like it didnt.
quick fix?
/etc/init.d/apache zap
| Quote: | (graveland)#apachectl configtest
Syntax OK
(graveland)#apachectl start
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
|
That right there tells me that apache is more than likely running, or a directory apache is trying to write to does not exist.
the #1 rule with apache is, when in doubt, check the error_logs they will most likely tell you all you need to know |

well here is /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf
User apache
Group apache
ServerAdmin black_adormen@linuxmail.org
ServerType standalone
ServerRoot /etc/apache
ServerName graveland
ServerSignature Off
PidFile /var/run/apache.pid
HostnameLookups Off
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs
Port 80
Listen 80
Timeout 300
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 50
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 4
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 4
MaxClients 50
MaxRequestsPerChild 500
#apachectl configtest
Syntax OK
#/etc/init.d/apache start
starting apache [ok]
so it is working
also it's working with apachectl start
no need for /etc/init.d/apache zap
but when i'm changing the /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf file with the one that i've posted earyer in this thread apache can not be started again...
though apachectl configtest says that the syntax is ok!!
so,with the ebuild it's no problem(i'm sure of that)
with the binaries the same..
but with the modules that i try to load it might be a problem ...
[edit]
the error_log does not say anything relevant...
[/edit]
anyway,now i'm in doubt,i have to think twice before running gentoo on a server...on a workstation we all now that it's one of the best solutions

Something is wrong.
the default apache configuration files that Gentoo provides with the ebuild will start and run a HTTP server from /home/httpd/htdocs with no modifications to the config files.
I noticed you do not have Include conf/commonapache.conf in your apache.conf
what i would suggest is for you to unmerge apache and move the /etc/apache directory to /etc/apache_old, use ps aux and kill off any and all httpd/apache processes, and then delete /var/logs/apache/* and /home/httpd/* (backing up any user created, non-apache files)
re-emerge apache, make NO modifications to the config files in /etc/apache/conf
and try to start apache. If this does not work, check the last few lines of /var/log/apache/error_log
if there is no information in the error log, then i would file a bug (or search the bugs)
if all goes well, edit your apache.conf , commonapache.conf files, DO NOT REMOVE ANY LINES from the files. use # to comment out entries you dont need. any Directive you wish to change, comment out the default entry and copy the new one with your info. do not comment out the Include conf/commonapache.conf directive
This way you can be sure of what changes you have made and where things go wrong. |

#apachectl configtest

i bet the error comes from the modules section,but i dunno for shure ...
damn thing
emerge -C apache

i just forgot that i had this problem 
i have fixed it,but forget to post the solution
well,if someone else would encounter the same problems as me just put in /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS="-march=... -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
the last thing(-fomit-frame-pointer) was not there
...stupid me
