 Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 4:25 am Post subject: apache2 won't start: httpd (pid 0) already running [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I just updated a bunch of stuff and now apache2 won't start. When I try restarting it I get the message:
| Code: | | * WARNING: apache2 has already been started |
But it's not running; there is no process. Furthermore, when I try running the apache2 command manually to see what happens, I get the following errors:
| Code: | apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
|
I found several related threads: Apache: No listening sockets available, shutting down and this old bug report but no suggestion of how to solve this problem.
I didn't change anything about any config file I had modified. I did overwrite a bunch of config files with etc-updated though, it was only files that I had never modified, and I was using the default configs anyway, I don't think I changed any of the apache config files except to add the hostname.
I then tried /etc/init.d/apache2 zap and then started it and I got:
| Code: | * Starting apache2 ...
httpd (pid 0) already running [ ok ] |
Seriously, pid 0? Something is really haywire. There is no process running.
Any suggestions of how to proceed? I'm at a loss.

Update...silly me, solved it with:
| Code: | | rm /var/run/apache2.pid |
In case anyone else has the same problem...the other errors were apparently superfluous? Have no idea how this happened though.
