I´m new in Linux & need some help to restart apache.

I stoped apache usind command # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
and apache stopped well.

The problem is when i try to start o restart apache we have the following messages:

command:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 10.70.220.1 for ServerName
httpd (no pid file) not running

If i take a look for another process using the port 80:

#lsof -i :80

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sh 1784 root 3u IPv6 27593263 TCP *:www (LISTEN)

Any help?

It is showing someone has a shell session open listing on port 80:

Since web service by default listen on port 80 it can't open it.

Type "ps -ef |grep 1784" and see what it is. If it shows you a tty/pty (e.g. tty1, pts/6) you can run ps -ft on that tty/pty to see what else is running there. My guess is someone was doing a test to see if they could make port 80 work and forgot to ctrl-c out after they did it. You can use "kill 1784" to stop process 1784 (or kill -1 and finally kill -9) on the PID if the basic kill doesn't work but should check to make sure it wasn't something important first.

Hello MensaWater:

Thanks for yours response.

Regarding to you recommendation.

ps -ef |grep 1784
root 1784 1 0 Feb18 ? 00:00:00 sh -i
root 22556 22551 0 13:06 pts/0 00:00:00 grep 1784

Command: kill -9 1784 dont do anything.

MensaWater:

After kill 1 i try kill 9, then i restart the server and everything is ok.

Thanks,
