Httpd requires restart after reboot

[pietro]

Hello,

I have inherited an HTTPS server running CentOS 6 which needs to connect to LDAP for authentication. The server worked fine until I had to reboot it. It appears that after each reboot Apache needs to be restarted before users can see HTTPS pages. Stopping iptables does not help.

I suppose I could add a task to restart Apache after reboot but I'd like to understand the underlying problem. I do not know where to look however. The original system administrator is no longer around to assist and I'm entirely unqualified at administrating servers. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the iptables configuration:

Code: Select all

[root@ip-xxxxxx ~]# iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW tcp dpt:https
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW tcp dpt:ldap
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Are there any entries in the output from aureport -a with timestamps that match your last reboot time?

Hello Trevor,

I don't think so.

Code: Select all

[root@ip-xxx ~]# aureport -a
