The httpd cannot be started after reboot

thomas2004ch · 11-03-2010, 04:58 AM

I've installed the Apache Httpd Server on RH Linux. In order to start the httpd after the machine rebooted. But it failed.

I also check the /var/log/message but couldn't find any message about httpd. I have start the httpd manually. Now I can find in /var/log/message a message that "httpd started successfully"

My /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd looks as follow. Can someone help?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for the Apache Web Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 85 15
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server.  It is used to serve \
#	       HTML files and CGI.
# processname: httpd
# pidfile: /var/run/httpd.pid

# Source function library.

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/httpd ]; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/httpd
fi

# mod_ssl needs a pass-phrase from the user.

# Path to the apachectl script, server binary, and short-form for messages.

		echo

	fi
}

# things -- attempting to start while running is a failure, and shutdown

Hi,

What does

Code:

chkconfig --list httpd

returns?

thomas2004ch · 11-03-2010, 08:19 AM

It returns:

Code:

httpd        0:On   1:Off   2:On   3:On   4:On   5:On   6:Off

How do you manually start httpd?
What happens if you use:

Code:

service httpd stop
sevice httpd start
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start

BTW how did you installed apache? Because:

Quote:

httpd 0:On 1:Off 2:On 3:On 4:On 5:On 6:Off

the service for runlevel 0 should be off.

I start the httpd as follow:

Code:

service httpd start

If I run service httpd stop, I get:

Code:

Stopping httpd:                                     [  OK  ]

If I run service httpd start, I get:

Code:

Starting httpd:                                     [  OK  ]

If I run /etc/init.d/httpd stop, I get:

Code:

Stopping httpd:                                     [  OK  ]

If I run /etc/init.d/httpd start, I get:

Code:

Starting httpd:                                     [  OK  ]

The code I attached in my last post is wrong. It should be:

Code:

httpd        0:Off   1:Off   2:On   3:On   4:On   5:On   6:Off

Everything look OK. The service starts/stops successfully
If it still doesn't start on boot, click on "show details" (or something like that) on the splash boot screen and watch the output for errors.
