Description of problem: httpd does not start from system-config-services Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd as it comes with Fedora-9-Beta-i386 How reproducible: start httpd service from system-config-services Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to Application 2.Go to Service 3.Go to httpd 4.Enable httpd 5.Start httpd Actual results: no response for very long time Expected results: httpd service should have started and the disconnect icon (plug away from socket)should have changed to connect icon (plug in socket) Additional info: I tried enable/disable, and start/stop/restart MySQL, and the changes took place almost immediately. With httpd enabling and disabling was instanteneous but none of the three options start/stop/restart worked. While pressing restart button for httpd the status information in top right center of the window was refreshing httpd and not restarting httpd. Enable/disable network was quick but start/stop/restart for network was taking about 60-90 seconds.
Full profile of the machine is at http://www/smolt.org/show?/uuid=pub_85955a62- 7804-46c3-9010-eb5cf098549a.
httpd works in httpd-2.2.8-3.x86_64 Fedora 9 Preview Release.
Today again I have tried few times but httpd does not start. Perhaps in Fedora-9-Beta-x86_64 the problem does not exist but there is some glitch somewhere in Fedora-9-Beta-i386 running on i686 machines. The system just gives a message "The status of this service is unknown".
What is the output from running "service httpd start" from a root shell? What version of httpd? (rpm -q httpd)
I logged in as root and opened terminal and this is output is as follows. [root@SrDME ~]# service httpd start Starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for SrDME httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [FAILED] [root@SrDME ~]# rpm -q httpd httpd-2.2.8-3.i386 SrDME is the name of the computer.
The machine's hostname should be fully-qualified, and needs to be resolvable (e.g. via /etc/hosts); please ask on a user support forum if you need further help.
