Server :: Service HTTPD Status Dead But PID File Exists
Apr 14, 2011
I am using CentOS 5.6 with Apache 2.2.17. The Apache was compiled from source using RPM build to comply with PCI requirements. Also Plesk 9.3 is used as a control panel, but other than the config files the Apache is pretty standard. When the httpd is started, there are no errors reported in /var/log/messages or in the error_log, and the httpd starts, shows up in ps and the pid file exists in /var/run/httpd.pid.
However when you check the status 'service httpd status' you get 'httpd dead but subsys locked'. You can add websites normally, and the proper config files are generated so I am pretty sure this isn't a control panel issue as I have other servers running the same control panel and Apache 2.2.16 compiled and installed the same way as the 2.2.17 and there are no problems.
My mail server is getting problem since 3 days. It automatically get hang and httpd service get dead any time. How I can check what is effecting server, load, network traffic etc...
I have opened up the Service Configuration window that shows all the services and their status. My httpd says that it is enabled, but also that "this service is dead" and there is a orangish triangle. I can run phpMyAdmin on my server, but I can't run it from any other PC on my network.
My dovecot installation crashes after sometime, normally within one day. If I restart the process manually it works again for sometime but eventually it crashes again.
Code:
root# service dovecot status dovecot dead but pid file exists
After booting I noticed that sometimes nmb was not running. The command # service nmb status gives nmbd dead but pid file exists The timestamp of the pid file suggests that at the last shutdown the pid file was not removed, and I guess this prevented nmb to start properly during booting (Although during booting the messages is [OK]).
If I shut down nmb manually, everything is fine. I checked the log in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd and it doesn't show any error. As mentioned, this occurs only occasionally, and I have no idea what may be causing this.
I've got a box with a fresh installation of CentOS 5.6, but had several configs copied from an old 4.8 box that I've now got to finish. Most everything seems fine, but I can't get apache running. It reports that it starts up fine, but immediately stops and reports "httpd dead but subsys locked"Most of the advice I've found while searching suggests to just delete the http.pid file and restart, which doesn't help in my case. I did find a few problems where SELinux was restricting httpd from creating or touching certain files (I found reports in /var/log/messages) but I've worked through that.
So the big question here is: /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log are now empty, and don't show any more errors when I restart httpd. Does anyone know where else I can look for reporting/logging on what's happening to httpd to cause it to die?
I have installed fedora 13 in my system. httpd server is also installed. when I tried to start the service of httpd, following error message displayed: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
I neded to make some changes to the httpd.conf file. Afterwards I tried restarting,but it won't restart.It's saying port 80 is already in use. after checking via lsof -i :80 I get this result:
For the first time in installed and configured centos-ds from this HowTos and from the manuals.It is running nicely but disabled my httpd.Is it not possible to run directory service and httpd in the same machine
I installed centos 5.5 and httpd service was working well for the last 2 weeks till yesterday. I restarted server and noted my hosting service were not working. I have tried service httpd restart on the terminal and it dispalys [FAILED]. I updated my machine and and have tried restarting it but it doesn't work. I am new to centos and I dont know how to solve this.
I am facing issue in ntp, it is getting killed frequently. see below error; # /etc/init.d/ntpd status ntpd dead but pid file exists After starting service it is works fine but again after sometimes it get in dead postition.
Since I started using Fedora 10 I can't login as root. Even though the system recognizes the root password when it requires it for certain administrative tasks it refuses to let me login as root.
When I try to edit httpd.conf I get the message "could not save file..." it doesn't even prompt me for the root password. My httpd service is dead and I can't resurrect it, what should I do?
I have installed fedora 13 recently and installed IDPS(snort) on it. But now I am not able to start service httpd. When I write service httpd start, it says OK, but I know it is a false message bcoz when I write service httpd stop it gives me Failed.
On writing service httpd status it gives a message: httpd dead but subsys locked I have tried "rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd" - no solution yum update hasn't solved my problem as well.
I have to show my project running at my college. And I can not understand properly the technical instructions as I am new to linux.
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?
accidentally I do something wrong with my server and the httpd folder missing and I need it to setup my mail server and anyone can help me what can I do without reinstalling my Cent OS? Here is the error msg :
[root@mydomain etc]# service httpd stop Stopping httpd: [FAILED] [root@mydomain etc]# service httpd restart
I have installed httpd on Fedora 13 with yum, but it is not working when I type in a browser : localhost
Code: [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start Starting httpd: [ OK ] [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: [ OK ] [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd stop Stopping httpd: [FAILED] [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd status httpd is stopped [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start Starting httpd: [ OK ] [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd status httpd dead but subsys locked [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd help [comp42 html]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd fullstatus Connection refused [comp42 html]$
Tried to reinstall several times, but nothing works. My firewall is disabled, does not work either while enabled. My httpd conf is the default one. What is going wrong?
[root@itsupport ~]# service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAILED] Iam facing the above error when i restart the service httpd
When i start tomcat6 (on a SLES 11 box) two times without a stop in between, rctomcat6 status results into dead state.
I checked the rctomcat6 start script, in this case when the tomcat6 is already running and a rctomcat6 start is done, it display a msg that "process already running", but it continues in the start function further down & executes the TOMCAT_SCRIPT(dtomcat6) script with the start argument. And after that pid in the tomcat6.pid file gets changed but the process keeps running with the old pid, and hence when we do a rctomcat6 status, it results into dead state(bcoz it doesn't find any process running with that pid).
I think it shouldn't execute the TOMCAT_SCRIPT in this case, so in case when checkpid is success(in start function), i put an exit after the echo msg " process already running", this solves the problem, but is this the correct solution ?
function start() { echo -n "Starting Tomcat ($CATALINA_BASE)" if [ -f "/var/lock/subsys/${NAME}" ] ; then if [ -f "/var/run/${NAME}.pid" ]; then
When I look the Services panel, nxserver is listed but shows as "Service is Dead". Does this mean anything specifically? Could it be related to firewall or security issues? Right above it a related program to nxserver, nxsensor, is listed and it's shown as operational.
Same thing here in my Services panel. Just getting into using NX...the display seems near Win RDP quality over the home lan. I'm now trying to get the sound to work. What is this 'dummy output' in my Sound preferences and where did my sound cards go? I have one onboard sc and a PCI card, neither recognized via the NX client session. Looking to get ESD going which might be the issue.
I'm running CentOS 5.3 64bit and from the get go I've had problems with the Apache server.More specifically, on what seems to be a random occurance, the apache server stops to respond.The process is still running, but nothing happens with it, and it is not responding.The /var/logs/httpd/error_log is blank for the occurance and only shows an entry after I give it a restart.So I'm a bit confused about what is going on.With that said, I need to make sure the httpd is working one way or another.I don't want to force a restart service every 10 minutes as this seems a bit too much.However, I do want to have the following:
run a crond every minute to do:If it fails, then do service httpd restart (and log the failure and restart to a file and email me a message).Any pointers on how to do that?It ain't the pretty solution, but it will save me from a very angry user until I'll figure what is the real cause for this failure.
i just installed Fedora 12, clean without anything change in it. I opened services dialog, and the openvpn service have status:dead, however it shows that it is enabled.when i try to run it as:/sbin/service openvpn start.It write OK. However if check it:/sbin/service openvpn status it write that service not running. What is a point of a problem? I have opened openvpn in FireWall,however without success, may be some additionsl services for openvpn are not running?
I have cloned linux installation from USB drive to another. The system is Fedora core and it is used as a software for encoding live stream (it's using PCI encoding cards). The system works well on original hardware configuration, however when I use this cloned flash drive on another hardware configuration one service will not start. It is a "calld" service and it is a service which has a protection which limits its execution to original hardware platform only (mac authentication probably). I need to get this service up, so when I type command "service calld starts/tatus" or "etc/init.d/calld start" I get response "service is dead and subsystems are locked". I tried matching mac address to original hardware configuration but still the same. This is a config file of service /etc/init.d/calld
I am working on linux server with below specifications.Linux EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxWhile checking the status of the server using the command 'opmnctl status' and when server is down the output is not getting redirected to file.I m using the command as,opmnctl status > abc.txt.
I have task to do configure a two httpd service in a same linux machine using iptables.
For example: Run primary httpd instance on 80 and 443 port if primary instance is down switch to second instance running on 8080 and 4443 this can be achieved using iptables.
