Problem with startup files -- Apache and MySQL do not start on reboot

etcetera · 07-08-2009, 10:39 AM

I am running bizcacti performance software on this machine.
Via VMWare
Every time it reboots, http and MySQL do not start and I have to start them manually.

All the start up files look good, what could it be?

# uname -a
Linux bizcacti 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 16 17:17:21 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Code:

 # chkconfig --list | egrep  -i "mysqld|httpd"
mysqld          0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:off   6:off
httpd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:off   6:off

# l /etc/rc3.d | egrep -i "mysqld|httpd"
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   15 Jul  1 12:56 S85httpd -> ../init.d/httpd
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   16 Jul  1 12:59 S64mysqld -> ../init.d/mysqld

# ll /etc/init.d/ | egrep -i "mysqld|httpd"
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     3022 Aug  2  2006 httpd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     4477 Apr  2  2007 mysqld

Are you booting into runlevel 3?

I am letting it fully boot into multi-user mode.

I presume this is level 3? Or is it not?

As root type the command:

Code:

runlevel

etcetera · 07-08-2009, 02:06 PM

# runlevel

N 5

Should I reconfigure it to start in runlevel 5 instead of 3?

I don't have chkconfig installed but I assume you can turn services on/off with it. Just turn on mysqld & httpd in run level 5.

Check the man page.

Or you can put

Code:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

in /etc/rc.local (edit for your setup as needed)
