 Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 4:02 am Post subject: apache2 not creating pid |
 |
|
I just installed apache v2.x. Starting it does not create the pid file thus apache does not serve pages, amongst other things. During my testing, I have noticed that the pid file does appear, randomly. There is no pattern. When the pid is created, pages ARE served as expected. Very annoying, when the pid is not created however, is that pages never load nor time out.
Apache info: | Apache version: | | [ebuild R ] net-www/apache-2.0.58-r2 USE="apache2 debug doc mpm-prefork ssl -ldap -mpm-itk -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker (-selinux) -static-modules -threads" |
Currently, apache appears to be running but no pid:
| Code: | boron apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ... [ ok ]
boron apache2 # netstat -ntap
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7147/apache2
boron apache2 # ls /var/run/httpd/
boron apache2 # |
Permissions on /var/run/httpd are WAY loose while testing: | Code: | boron apache2 # ls /var/run/ -l
drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 48 Jan 31 19:36 httpd |
The only parameters I have changed are:
| /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: | | PidFile "/var/run/httpd/apache2.pid" |
| /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs
ServerName boron.domain.tld
# ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost> |
My apache configuration syntax checks out: | Code: | boron apache2 # apache2 -t
Syntax OK |
Log files (This is all the useful information. I can post the entire log(s) but the messages are the same): | /var/log/messages: | boron apache2 # cat /var/log/messages |grep apache

Jan 31 18:14:32 boron useradd[6204]: new user: name=apache, UID=81, GID=81, home=/var/www, shell=/sbin/nologin |

When the pid is not created/does not exist, I am forced to kill the apache process before 'restarting': | Code: | boron apache2 # killall apache2
boron apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 zap
* Manually resetting apache2 to stopped state. |
OTHERWISE, I get this: | Code: | boron apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Starting apache2 ... [ ok ]
boron apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Stopping apache2 ...
httpd (no pid file) not running [ ok ]
* Starting apache2 ...

Additional info: I mount /var to a partition different from / (root). Could this be the issue? In my experience, I don't think so, but......
| /etc/fstab: | /dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs noauto,noatime,notail 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 1
/dev/sda5 /home reiserfs noatime,nodev,notail 0 0
/dev/sda6 /var reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0
/dev/sda7 /usr/portage reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0
/dev/sda8 /tmp reiserfs noatime,nodev,nosuid,noexec,notail 0 0 |
I've been hacking away at this all day. Google is about as useful as a hot iron in the eye on this issue. =(
I'm rather lost and would appreciate any ideas.
Regards.
/edit:
I have gone as far as removing apache and deleting all crud emerge leaves behind (such as the init script, init conf file, apache config directory, ALL OF IT). Installing it a new makes no difference. |

| I'm having exactly the same symptoms. Have you been able to come up with a solution to this? It seems that after a reboot, the system will work for a time. |

| I reinstalled. My hard drive was bad which I believe to be the issue. |
