httpd service won't start


Hello,

I am having a slight problem here, for some reason, I cant start Apache using the service httpd start command. I get a message saying that httpd has been started but the web pages just don't load and when I check with pidof httpd there is no process running. I'm not sure the CPU or memory usage is too high or anything, here is the output I get from TOP:

(What is normal for load average?)

I hope someone can give me some advice, Thanks

Gav, your top post seems to be missing most of the screen

What do your logs say?

Hi thanks for your reply, I have updated the image to show all of the processes as well.

In the Apache logs (usr/apache/local/logs/error_log) where is just the following:

Quote:

Hi, after some digging around, I found this:

http://www.cpwiki.org/wiki/Troublesh...che_semaphores

For anyone else that has the same problem, this sorted it for me:

# service httpd stop
# /usr/bin/ipcrm sem $(/usr/bin/ipcs -s | grep nobody | awk '{print$2}')
# service httpd start

Thanks again to billymayday and merchtemeagle for your replies
