[Deb4]rc.local not executed at system start

xeross · 12-14-2008, 11:16 AM

Hey,

Whenever i reboot my system i have to restart my custom compiled apache and apache manually. While i have the same commands(With full paths) in the /etc/rc.local but it looks like they aren't getting executed.
How would i fix this.

Thank for your time, Xeross

Also, i know i should be using packages and i already switched to a mysql package and will also do so with apache but not atm.

If you have bootlogd enabled any errors or warnings will show up in "/var/log/boot"

My normal boot log ( empty /etc/rc.local ):

Code:

Sun Dec 14 09:39:59 2008: Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local).

Boot log with a warning:

Code:

Sun Dec 14 14:42:33 2008: Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)[Sun Dec 14 14:42:36 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

How would i enable it.

Code:

GNU nano 2.0.2                File: /var/log/boot

(Nothing has been logged yet.)

rc.local and bootlogd are part of the "initscripts" package. If you have it installed, you can enable bootlogging by changing the line "BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=NO" in "/etc/default/bootlogd".

Again, if you have "initscripts" installed, there should be links in your rc[2-5].d directories to run rc.local. On my system they are:

Code:

@S99rc.local

and they point to "/etc/init.d/rc.local". If you don't have them, you can either add the links manually or you can download the "sysv-rc-conf" run-level configuration tool.

S99rc.local exists but it looks like it doesn't get fired.
Bootlogd enabled, i will see if everything works when i have to reboot it
