i just did basically a live update from 9.1 to 10 official. changed the urpmi mirrors and now i can't get my apache to run.

prometheus chad # ADVXctl start
Starting httpd2: mod_clamav.c:1328: cannot create mutex clamav.lockmod_clamav.c:1341: cannot create shared memory clamav.shm: statistics will not be available
[FAILED]

i don't have the slighest on that part. so i checked the error log to see if it might help.

cat /var/log/httpd/error_log
[Fri Apr 30 14:00:28 2004] [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock
Configuration Failed

that's what was showing up, so i commented out the rewrite module
[Fri Apr 30 13:10:42 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/apache2-suexec)
mod_clamav.c:1328: cannot create mutex clamav.lockmod_clamav.c:1341: cannot create shared memory clamav.shm: statistics will not be available

once i did that i can atleast get past the unkown host and apache will start. now all it does is 'can't connect to cerberus.cc'. it doesn't matter if i try to go in other ways or not. when i uncomment out the mod_rewrite now it comes up, the host, not the page. apache still won't start.

Hi,

Try commenting out mod_clamav if you do not need it.
From the logs it seems this module is causing the problems.
If that doesnt work try commenting both rewite and clamav modules.

i got rid of the apache2-mod_clamav all together. commented out the rewrite, but it's still not working.
maybe i should just reinstall apache.

There is a thread on this problem in Mandrake Bugzilla
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9167

The problem seems to affect Via C3 processors, but users of Athlons have also had problems.
Rebuilding apache from http://katu3.zarb.org/~misc/apache2/...8-7mdk.src.rpm
seems to fix it.

In my case I simply downgraded Apache2 back to the version in 9.2

After I install kernel 2.4.26 apache doesn't starts

I receive this error:

[Sun Jul 04 23:01:54 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/local/apache-2.0.49/bin/suexec)
[Sun Jul 04 23:01:54 2004] [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock
Configuration Failed

Any ideas?

This surely has something to do with my kernel

Maybe, I can start with the new kernel, compile apache again, and hopefully it will work

It's all solved

I had to reconfigure, make, and make install apache

I suppose this apache will now work with my previous kernel as well

Having just installed Mandrake 10.0 with updates, I'm seeing the same issue with httpd not starting up. I removed apache2-2.0.48-6mdk, and installed apache2-2.048-6.3.100, and I still get the same result.

# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Re-creating /etc/httpd/extramodules
Starting httpd2: [FAILED]

In the error_log file

[Tue Jul 27 11:46:07 2004] [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock
Configuration Failed

My kernel is

# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk

Any suggestions?

Try recompiling apache
Configure it from source

follow what delboy711's advice. that's what i had to do.

Four years later, I feel this addendum is necessary as I encountered the same issue on a gentoo system that I built. When I googled the error: This forum was the first listed result.

I found that the error was perhaps realted to the lack of something called System V IPC being compiled into the kernel.

This can be found in menuconfig under "General Setup -> System V IPC"

recompile, install the new kernel, and if this was your problem: Apache should start working.

Really happy I found this thread. I had the same problem, and the cure worked.
