CentOS

Hi,

I have centos 5.5 64bit installed. When I start the httpd service I get the above message. The message is bogus because the server is running and web pages work. Is there a fix out there to resolve this ?


Thanks,

little googling may help you out
see this post http://nixcraft.com/web-servers/4695-httpd-dead-but-subsys-locked.html
looks like this guy was out of disk space

Hi yyagol


Thanks for the reply. I checked out that posting and felt it wasn't exactly my situation as my server is a recent reinstall with lots of space. I did notice in the httpd server settings dialog a couple of things that don't appear correct. First the lock file is to created as /var/lock/httpd.lock and when I startup apache there's no file on the system to be found. Not sure if this is a temp file just used as startup then erased once the deamon is running. The httpd file gets created in the subsys subdirectory under /var/lock so I'm wondering if the lock file should be pointed to /var/lock/subsys/httpd.lock instead of where it currently is..... heck no harm in trying that out and if not I''ll change it back.


thanks,

Well changing the lock file location in the httpd dialog didn't accomplish much except messing up the httpd.conf :-( ..... so I restored my original conf and I'm back to square one but it's not the end of the world. If anyone out there has resolved the above on a centos 5.5 64 please drop me a line on the fix.


Thanks,

please provide error logs from httpd service start
including messages,http/error_log .
and post the out put of the service start/stop commands .
also have you installed any apache modules that are not from CentOS repositories ?
and last question , did you build httpd.conf or is it the one that comes with httpd package

[code]rpm -V httpd[/code]
