Apache web server

[Gabrielle Clark]

When running Apache 1.3.12 on hp 11 system, apachectl start returns message that apahe is started but when stopping, it returns http (no pid file) not running. No error logs created.

In Apache httpd.conf or httpsd.conf file whichever your active Apache configuraiton file is, it stated where the pid file is. If that is not in the conf file, then it is in the "configure" process you need to specify where that is. Start and stop httpd are two rc scripts.

If you can locate where the pid file is, you can edit your httpd start/stop script to point to the pid file, then it will work fine.

Make sure you have this line or something like it in the apachectl file:
# the path to your PID file
PIDFILE=/opt/apache/adm/httpd.pid

As for error logs they should be in the same directory, I believe they are defined in the httpd.conf file.

Good Luck

Hi,

Search for PidFile in httpd.conf. By default it should go to /opt/apache/logs as httpd.pid.

After starting Apache, look for the creation of this file.

In httpd.conf - PidFile /dev3web/logs/httpd.pid

in apachectl - # the path to your PID file
PIDFILE=/dev3web/logs/httpd.pid

I run multiple instances of Apache & install each to it's own filesystem. One instance is running fine, the new one does not.

check file system permissions on
/dev3web/logs/
