There are some known problems about httpd startup after power failure (e.g. bug 78019) though you shouldn't see that particular error message in the default configuration; are you using the "ScoreboardFile" directive in httpd.conf? Yes - though this file is largely default (I haven't touched the scoreboardfile directive myself). ScoreBoardFile "/var/run/httpd.scoreboard" You can just comment out the ScoreboardFile directive normally. I get this if I stop httpd normally; 1. Reboot 2. Check apache is running 3. service httpd stop 4. Check apache has stopped 5. service httpd start apache "starts" but dies 6. service httpd status not running! Same message as reported in the error log. It't won't start again unless I change the scoreboard filename. Note: I never set the scoreboard file, if it wasn't set in the supplied config file then it must have been set by redhat-httpd-config which I tried Can also relicate every time on my machine - sudo service httpd restart - always - leads to a bunch of SIGTERMS being sent to the running processes and then I get that damn scoreboard error. I, of course, meant "replicate" and "darn". I am running RHL 8.0 with httpd-2.0.40-11.5 on an i686. You should remove the ScoreboardFile directive from your httpd.conf. This is not really a bug: if you configure a ScoreBoardFile directive then the server will not start up after an unclean shutdown. The solution is to not configure a ScoreBoardFile directive. |
