apache will neither start nor stop

[Oliver Schmitz]

Hi again,

after I finally finnished the installation of my hpapache I got more problems:

In the documentation it is mentioned that the apache (/opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl) is started automatically.
I did a ps -ef |grep apachectl (and more) and saw that it is not running.
Tried a start and the shell hangs (no reaction to nothing).

What shall I do to test the proper functionality of this apache? Are there patches needed or something else to pay attention to?

Thanks again and best regards,

Oliver

Hi,

Look for httpd.
Have you run /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl start?

greetings,

You can try this:

# /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl start

Also, to start automatically, check the configuration file for apache under /etc/rc.config.d and make the values to 1 in order to start. After that, you can also start it by:

# /sbin/init.d/hpws_apache start

# ps -aef | grep http (check if apache is running)

Hi Oliver,

Are you shure apache is installed in /opt/hpapache2/bin check this doc.

Check if your PATH has been set to the new apache bin directory.

# echo $PATH

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan
