which apache is running?

[phpsharma]

Hi all,

My server is stopped all of sudden. I tried to start it. I am unable to start it as it have 2 instances of apache. Now my problem is to find the correct instance to start..

I tried "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart" its giving message its started but not working..

please help me to find out the correct instance..

when i locate for httpd.conf it returns these....But i have found 2 httpd.conf files in it.

/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak-rb
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.default
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak
/etc/yum.repos.d/apache_1.3.33/conf/httpd.conf-dist-nw
/etc/yum.repos.d/apache_1.3.33/conf/httpd.conf-dist
/etc/yum.repos.d/apache_1.3.33/conf/httpd.conf-dist-win
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Thanks in advance,
sharma

Hi,

which of the two httpd.conf files is newer ? Locate the log files and check which logfiles are newer.

If the /usr/local/apache installation is newer then try to execute:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Hi Thomas,

Can you please guide me to solve this.

i run this command ..error was this...

[root@tw1 sbin]# /usr/sbin/apachectl status
Not Found

The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server.

---

Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80

[root@tw1 sbin]#

[tsinka]

Ok,

"caught SIGTERM, shutting down" means that apache got a SIGTERM signal and stopped. Looks like the apache server has been shut down using the control script.

The server-status message means that the server-status url is not set up in httpd.conf. Normally, that's nothing to worry about.

Did you start apache with /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start ?

Thomas

[phpsharma]

Thomas,STILL not working..
[root@tw1 sbin]# /usr/sbin/apachectl status
Not Found

The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server.

---

Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80

[root@tw1 sbin]# /usr/sbin/apachectl start
httpd (pid 8910) already running
[root@tw1 sbin]# /usr/sbin/apachectl stop
[root@tw1 sbin]# /usr/sbin/apachectl start

[phpsharma]

I have run the command not working.. but not working

[tsinka]

Ok,

httpd (pid 8910) already running means that the apache server is already running. Do you get a timeout if you try to request a page or some error message ?

How do the last lines of the error_log look like after stopping and starting the apache ? the status command does not work with your apache setup so it will fail no matter if apache is running or not.

In order to enable the status handler you need to activate the module mod_status and to add the following configuration directive:

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>

You may need to change 127.0.0.1 or temporarily remove the Deny from all line and change the allow line to
Allow from all

Thomas,

Thanks for your inputs so far, I tired the alternatives ..but not solved yet.. I will repost the developements.

Thanks,
sharma

Please check if the httpd process is running at all after starting it. First, check the error log, it should contain a notice about the successful start of apache. Besides that check if you can find running httpd processes (using the "ps" command).

Which error do you get if you try to request a page with your browser ?

[phpsharma]

Thomas,

I found that there are two apaches installed on the system. The exact php and configurations are running with 1.33. when i try to start the httpd by command

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

It is starting 2.X and not 1.33

This is the main reason for the site down..

Thomas, Now can you tell me how to stop and start 1.33.

Thanks for all your guidelines..

Sharma

[tsinka]

Execute the command

/usr/loca/apache/bin/httpd -v

to get the version. Additionally check if there are other httpd or httpd2 binaries and execute them with <binary> -v to get the versions.

Please post the /etc/init.d/httpd init script.

Thomas,

Just started apache ..with

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

[root@tw1 conf]# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v
-bash: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: No such file or directory

Tried:/usr/sbin/httpd -v

[root@tw1 conf]# /usr/sbin/httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.52
Server built: Jan 5 2006 12:31:31
[root@tw1 conf]#

[tsinka]

Could also be /usr/local/apache/sbin/httpd or /usr/local/apache/libexec/httpd. That depends on how apache has been compiled.

execute the command:

find /usr/local/apache -regex "^.*httpd2?$"

To find all httpd executables:

find / -regex "^.*httpd2?$"

Thomas

Thomas,

1st command no resluts..

[root@tw1 conf]# find /usr/local/apache -regex "^.*httpd2?$"

Please post the output of

ll /usr/local/apache/bin

(check if there are directories like sbin or libexec in /usr/local/apache and post the contents).

Modify the command I posted a little bit:

find / -type f -regex "^.*httpd2?$"

I just want to get regular files (no directories).

What's in /home/sharma/july2006/httpd and check if there's a file named config.log in /root/apache_1.3.33/... or in /etc/yum.repos.d/apache_1.3.33/....

Thomas

[phpsharma]

Tthere is no bin directory in /usr/local/apache/

1) out put of /usr/local/apache/

[root@tw1 apache]# ls
cgi-bin conf htdocs icons include index.htm libexec logs man proxy
[root@tw1 apache]# pwd
/usr/local/apache
[root@tw1 apache]#

2) running command find / -type f -regex "^.httpd2?$"

[root@tw1 apache]# find / -type f -regex "^.*httpd2?$"
/root/apache_1.3.33/src/httpd
/usr/sbin/httpd
/var/lock/subsys/httpd
/etc/yum.repos.d/apache_1.3.33/src/httpd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd
/etc/sysconfig/httpd
/home/sharma/july2006/httpd
[root@tw1 apache]#

3)

in /home/sharma/july2006/httpd

This file I have copied to local ystem to paste into browser. the contents are same as the previous post of httpd.

4) config.log

[root@tw1 apache_1.3.33]# locate config.log
/root/mod_ssl-2.8.24-1.3.33/etc/patch/config.log
/root/mhash-0.9.2/config.log
/root/php-5.0.5/config.log
/usr/local/bin/ruby-1.8.2/config.log
/etc/yum.repos.d/php-5.0.5/config.log
[root@tw1 apache_1.3.33]#

Thanks for your time

[tsinka]

Please post the files /root/php-5.0.5/config.log and /root/mod_ssl-2.8.24-1.3.33/etc/patch/config.log as attachment (in a zip file).
Is there a config.log file in /root/apache_1.3.33/ or in /root/apache_1.3.33/src/ ?

Thomas

[phpsharma]

I would like to uninstall all and a new install wil solve all my issues

Thanks a lot Thomas. I am going to bed . its 2 am here.. :mad:
