svcadm: Pattern 'apache' doesn't match any instances

xpucto · 02-16-2006, 04:29 AM

Since I have problems with the mod_perl in apache2, I'm thinking of staying under apache1.3.
It's also preinstalled in solaris 10 and it has the mod_perl.
But when I do "svcadm clear apache", I get:

Quote:

What is wrong? Isn't apache fully installed?
Thanks for any help. I'm used that nothing works right away and I'm conscious that I have no experience with solaris but it's really the first that I just can't make it further. Making run apache and perl shouldn't be that difficult. I would really be thanksfull if I'd get it to work.
Thanks.

Try "svsc -a apache" to find out what apache the system think is installed.

when doing ./apachectl start I also get an error message saying

Quote:

./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

But I can't find the logs to see the reason. Under /var/log/ap_error.log there is only unsignificant error messages, and /var/apache/logs/error_log is empty. And under /var/svc/log/ there is no log file for apache, only for apache2.

Sorry, I mean "svcs -a | grep apache"

Hier the result:

svcs -a | grep apache
legacy_run 13:43:05 lrc:/etc/rc3_d/S50apache
online 13:49:44 svc:/network/http:apache2

You should use apache2 as pattern.

What do you mean? Use apache2 or having apache2 as pattern calling apache1.3?

Okay, I didn't got you wanted to target 1.3 as you were using svcadm.

You can't use the svcadm command with that apache version, as it isn't managed by the SMF framework but is in "legacy" mode (i.e. /etc/rc.*).

Moreover, "svcadm clear" is meant to clear a service which is in the maintenance state, while no such state exists with legacy services.

Finally, you have both apache and apache2 started on your server, which means only the first one launched will be functional, should both are set to listen on port 80.

apache 1 is a legacy script; apache 2 is a service. There are only so many options with the svcs/svcadm command that you can use with legacy run scripts.

To start/stop apache 1, use the script /etc/init.d/apache.

It's config file is /etc/apache/httpd.conf, which you need to create by using the template httpd.conf-example.
