You've done all that should be necessary. What do the commands "chkconfig httpd --list" and "runlevel" tell you now?

zerocool22 · 04-25-2008, 07:07 AM

it tells me this

Quote:

httpd 0

ff 1

ff 2

n 3

n 4

n 5

n 6

ff

runlevel says: N 3

All looks good. What about "service httpd status"? Then we need to look at /var/log/messages to see if there is a reason Apache isn't working.

Also, can you post your reasons for believing Apache isn't running? To save me repeating the same tests - what have you already tried?

I rebooted my server, and when booted i run service httpd start and it said ok, normally if it wasnt run it would say, service is already runned. Same for vsftpd.

Is there anything in /var/log/httpd/error_log that might help? I'd also like to check the process table after rebooting but before you manually start httpd. Use "service httpd status" for me to see if it is running or not.

Have you tryed to access your server locally or remotely? "links http://localhost" should start a text-based browser on your server and try to connect to the Apache server.

yeah i tried everything above nothing still though

OK, let's check to see if chkconfig has done it's job properly. Do you have a sym-link to the /etc/init.d/httpd script in your /etc/rc3.d directory? It might look like this?

Code:

2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen[root@www rc3.d]# ll /etc/rc3.d/*http*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr  2 18:59 /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd -> ../init.d/httpd
2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen[root@www rc3.d]#

First thing is

ps aux | grep httpd

and similarly for vsftp.

Most likely issue is screwed up configs that stop it running once started

Logs are your friend here

thx yeah its exactly like the one you posted.

blacky_5251 · 04-25-2008, 07:46 AM

Can you post /var/log/httpd/error_log?

zerocool22 · 04-25-2008, 07:50 AM

never mind, i rebooted the server once more, and now it does work

Thx for all your help
