Hi Everyone,

I have a virtual server running Fedora 9. I did a system update yesterday and since then I cannot get Apache to start. I have searched everywhere on this problem and haven't found anything that will resolve the issue for me.

On executing httpd I get the OK that httpd started. If I check the status of httpd it tells me "http dead but subsys locked".

On checking the logs I get this error

/usr/sbin/httpd: Symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0: Undefined symbol: apr_os_uuid_get

I have tried reinstalling apr aprutils and libapr, I have reinstalled httpd several times and even tried building my own to no avail.

Does anyone have any help they can give me?

Thanks

Adam

Hi.

A few questions:
1) Do you have the Rawhide repo switched on in your YUM config?
2) What do you get from: 'ldd /usr/sbin/httpd'
3) what do you get from: 'ldd /usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0'

Dave

1. Rawhide repo in yum.

I am not sure. It is a standard install a couple of weeks old and I haven't changed anything in yum.

2. 'ldd /usr/sbin/httpd'

[root@mail etc]# service httpd status

Looks like the versions are off on apr and httpd (httpd's been compiled against a different version of apr). Don't know how/why this has happened.
I'd try (another) 'yum update' and if you don't get any joy, post the output from:
# rpm -qa | egrep 'httpd|apr'

and the output from:
# rpm -qi <package>
for each of the packages found in the first command.

Dave

It was probably my fault. I was getting an error in Virtualmin after the latest update a few days ago. I tried re-compiling apache with support for this error and ended up finding how to remove the problem altogether.

Then I updated via yum the other night and apache hasn't worked since.

Tried another yum update - no change.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

I would 'make uninstall' httpd, and rip out anything in /usr/local which is from httpd.

Then yum remove and yum install httpd and apr and see if you can start apache again.

Dave

I removed apache, apr, deleted directories in /usr/local and am still having the same problem.

I ended up setting up another machine here as the http server that links to the original machine for mysql and webmail so I am out of trouble for the moment but would still like to get it sorted.


Adam

Try uninstalling all the apr and httpd stuff again, then run:

# find / -name 'libapr*'
# find / -name httpd

and see if anything's been left lying around.

Dave
