httpd autostart problem.

blacky_5251 · 03-29-2010, 05:42 AM

Does your httpd.conf file contain "Listen 10.1.1.66:80"? If so, try setting it to "Listen 80". Is your /etc/hosts file OK? Does it have the required "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" entry?

I'm grasping really, all of these things would cause a problem at boot AND during manual startup, not just at boot time.

Just add:

Code:

/usr/sbin/apachectl start

in rc.local

didn't work. same arror.

the hosts file is ok.

the "listen 80" solved the problem !

thx a lot for your help!

I wonder why it worked after boot but not during boot?

I do not like such weirdness

me too.
would be good to know why to solve future problems

Well, I guess that by the time apache starts, the interface with ip 10.1.1.66 is not up yet.
How do you get your IP?

How do you get your IP?

its assigned via DHCP. (but with an static entry in the DHCP config)

i'm really shure thats it

I'm also sure.
The dhcp serveer somehow delays a bit to assign the ip, so apache bails out on boot.
Why don't you assign the ip directly to your server and stop waiting for the dhcpd to assign it?

cous this is my exerimental server @ work running on my private notebook.

Had the same problem. httpd would not start on reboot, but I could manually start it without a problem.

Turned out the SELinux prevented it. So I changed it to permissive from the setup utility and it started fine on reboot.

Hope it saves someone time.

It is an easy fix, but one I would argue against. Take the time to resolve any SELinux issues, don't just give up on it

friksa · 09-04-2011, 06:34 AM

Agree. This is a clean install and I expected it to work better.

The reason for posting it, is to give people an idea on where to start looking.
