Cannot start apache2 as a service (but I can using apachectl)


Hello there,

I got this weird issue with a complete fresh install of a server, which should end up as an Apache webserver. The system is running OpenSuSE 13.1 with Apache 2.4.6.

Whenever I try to start apache2 using the service command provided (service apache2 start) it starts up, then the service command waits for some time and kills off apache again:
Code:
# service apache2 start
Job for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details
Code:
# systemctl status apache2.service -l
apache2.service - The Apache Webserver
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Fri 2013-09-27 17:29:50 CEST; 13min ago
 Main PID: 2160

Sep 27 17:28:20 mail systemd[1]: Starting The Apache Webserver...
Sep 27 17:28:20 mail start_apache2[2160]: [Fri Sep 27 17:28:20.239493 2013] [core:warn] [pid 2160] AH00117: Ignoring deprecated use of DefaultType in line 140 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.

Sep 27 17:29:50 mail systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache Webserver.

I've set logging to debug. In the apache2 error log I get this:
Code:

[Fri Sep 27 17:29:50.207075 2013] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 2160] AH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down
In the one and a half minute before I get SIGTERM, I can use the server just fine, so I'm assuming the control job of the service command is not getting notified that the service is running.

When I just start the service using the command
Code:
apache2ctl start
it just starts and keeps running.

For the time this is workable, but I'd like to have the apache2 service start at boot as a service, so any ideas on how to fix this issue are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Louis

I have no idea what's keeping it from running but until you find out you could use the legacy /etc/rc.d/?

Thanks for the tip. I tried that, but unfortunately the init.d script redirects the call to systemctl. But I'll try to put the apache2ctl script in init.d and see if that still works.
