Ubuntu Servers :: Apache No Longer Starting Unattended After Reboot?
Nov 18, 2010
I have an Ubuntu 10.04.1 AMD64 server running Apache with SSL. In the past, even though I have a passphrase on my key file, I have only needed it if I manually restarted Apache2, never after reboot.
I recently switched from a self-signed cert to one from a CA. I'm not sure if this is what caused it, I also installed a few packages (AWStats, PHPSysInfo and Munin) that all interact with the webserver.
Anyway, I just noticed that now after a reboot Apache starts but doesn't work. I need to kill that process and start a new one with the passphrase (maybe on the console it is prompting me, I mainly use SSH access since the server is headless).
Why did Ubuntu used to 'remember' the passphrase on the self-signed cert but now I need to provide it?
My sever auto-updates so it would be annoying to have this thing go down regularly after a patch that requires a reboot.
I have set up a new IP specifically for SSH and configured SSHD_Config accordingly to listen on this new interface and a specific port. However when I reboot SSH is not starting. Looking in the syslog it shows that it is unable to start. It looks like its trying to listen on the interface before it is set up.
Code: Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (601) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (610) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (618) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped
I am able to start SSH manually once the server is booted. Do I need to set up my interfaces differently to ensure they are available prior to SSH starting somehow? I don't want to change my ssh config to listen on all addresses.
I am having problems with bond0 starting at boot on ubuntu server 9.10. After I do a restart I have to manually start the network with "ifup bond0". I have installed the built package (ifenslave-2.6_1.1.0-15ubuntu1_i386.deb (as indicated in Bug #482419)).
I have setup bonding for mode=6 with miimon=100 using eth0 and eth1 (both are Intel 10/100/1000 ports using an aic79xx network driver).
The contents of the aliases file are:
alias bond0 bonding options bond-mode=6 miimon=100
The contents of the interfaces file are: auto bond0
I am trying to install Zend Server, and that went well. Apache and all the other items were installed.
But when I go to start Apache, I get this error:

First post here so I'll do my best to provide the information needed.
System:
Dell Poweredge R310 Xeon 3460 2.8Ghz 4x2GB ram 4x 160GB Sata 7.2k (RAID 10) Ubuntu Server 64bit
If I type as root, "reboot" or "shutdown -r now", nothing happenings - except the apache2 process stops + the usual "System is going down for reboot now". If I type "shutdown -h now" the system goes down.
Upon booting the server back up, MySQL starts correctly, but Apache2 does not - I have to run "service apache2 start", and it starts up fine.
I feel the 2 issues are related. I've reinstalled apache2 completely (configs and all) and this didn't help - I used yum to install/reinstall it.
Centos 5.3 includes Ext4 and improved support for encrypted file systems but it appears to be aimed at laptop/desktop systems, in that a password must be entered at boot time.
Is it possible to have a server with an encrypted root file system boot up without entering a password?
Mandos will do it... http://wiki.fukt.bsnet.se/wiki/Mandos ...by serving up the password from another server... http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/mandos ...to a client loaded into the initial RAM disk environment... http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/mandos-client ...but it's not available on CentOS, and is only in Debian unstable.
Is there a similar (or any) solution for CentOS?
In particular, I'm envisaging encrypted virtual machines being served passwords from their virtual host.
Alternatively, the data that *really* needs to be protected could be encrypted while the system core remains unencrypted. But then the keys to decrypt the file system must be stored in the unencrypted portion, so this is not an effective method.
I installed the normal recommended aptidue updates this morning. As a result of that, thunderbird is no longer starting:

Running openSuse 11.2-64 on a DualCore / 2Gb machine.I have 3 nfs shares described in my /etc/fstabAll three were mounted at boot time when I was connecting to the network through the wired interface (eth0).I need to use the wireless interface, and even if that interface is up and running well (I use ifup), the nfs client doesn't start... if just after boot I do a mount -a or simply a nfs start, everything comes up and runs well.This machine will not be used by myself, and the users cannot just jump into a command line and type nfs start or even mount -a (they would need su privileges...)I have disabled the eth0, killed the eth0 config (with yast) edited /etc/sysconfig/nfs and setted the NFS_START_SERVICE to yes to force the gssd and idmapd to always start even if there was no nfs entry in fstab, but nothing changed.
I just loaded 10.10 on an Acer Aspire One D255. When I installed Ubuntu, network manager loaded and I was able to use both the wired and wireless cards. After I used update manager, the kernel was upgraded, and I also added some wireless applications (RutilT WLAN Manager, SWScanner, and WiFi Radar). Upon reboot, the network manager doesn't work, and it cannot find any of the devices.
Running OpenSuse 11.4 and have setup 2 x Raid5 configs - raid created, disks format, everything working fine. I've just rebooted and the raid5 fails to initialize.
Getting these errors:
Code: May 29 16:58:30 suse kernel: [ 1788.170692] md: md0 stopped. May 29 16:58:30 suse kernel: [ 1788.197864] md: invalid superblock checksum on sdb1 May 29 16:58:30 suse kernel: [ 1788.197876] md: sdb1 does not have a valid v0.90 superblock, not importing!
I have an openSUSE 11.1 and I noticed that after installing a couple of things on it the sshd is not starting anymore on reboot. how can I debug this problem. Is there a log file so that I can see what was the problem? If I want to use ssh I have to start it from yast every time the computer restarts.
I have installed no updates and made no changes to configuration in any way. Computer has been left on for some time. Finally rebooted to clear any caches. When it came up again the system does not recognise the monitor. So I get the default resolution. Not hardware as a windows install comes up fine.
Using Wheezy with MATE Running on Haswell Installed backport to stop crash on exit 3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64
I have tried several versions of live CD. These all give the same symptom - which is why I tried the windows install. So I suspect this is something to do with recognising the onboard graphics in Haswell.
I have googled and found, however, means using a shell script. This seems rather drastic and I don't want to go that way unless there is no other possiblity of a solution. In that post the output of xrandr is posted so doing the same here.

We have a Centos 5.6 server mounting two iSCSI volumes from an HP P2000 storage array. Multipathd is also running, and this has been working well for the few months we have been using it. The two volumes presented to the server were created in LVM, and worked without problem.We had a requirement to reboot the server, and now the iSCSI volumes will no longer mount. From what I can tell, the iSCSI connection is working ok, as I can see the correct sessions, and if I run 'fdisk -l' I can see the iSCSI block devices, but the O/S isn't seeing the filesystems. Any LVM command does not show the volumes at all, and 'vgchange -a y' only lists the local boot volume, not the iSCSI volumes. My concern is that, the output of 'fdisk -l' says 'Disk /dev/xxx doesn't contain a valid partition table' for all the iSCSI devices. Research shows that performing the vgchange -a y command should automatically mount any VG's that aren't showing, but it doesn't work.
There's a lot of data on these iSCSI volumes, and I'm no LVM expert. I've read that some have had problems where LVM starts before iSCSI and things get a bit messed up, but I don't know if this is the case here (I can't tell), but if there's a way of switching this round that might help, I'm prepared to give it a go.There was absolutely no indication there were any problems with these volumes, so corruption is highly unlikely.
Two days back I installed had setup subversion for my laptop from the following link HOWTO: Setting Up Your Own SVN Server (Using Apache and mod_dav_svn) - Mark S. Kolich
I don't know where I messed up the apache server. Now I am unable to start the apache server. I get the following error message:
I installed Apache, and it works fine. However, when I rebooted my CentOS, httpd did not start automatically. What do I need to do to ensure it starts when the system boots?
I have a Laptop ( Samsung R510 Driton (Aura Series) with Win XP installed, and wanted to install fedora 10, too, as i really want to test a few things in linux and get a little knowledge there....
I Installed fedora with his guide: [url]
And as for Dual boot i also read this guide: [url]
I created root, home, swap (8 gb), usr, var all in all about 100 gb (i know its much, but i have enough space :)
After the installation, fedora wanted to restart my laptop, i let it restart and GRUB came up, i chose "fedora 10" pressed enter and the laptop just restarted....did the same thign again, andn ow fedora was about 2 secs in the loading screen and then restarted again....i've chosen windows and the laptop isj ust restarting...i tried windows again and windows is loading ....but i dont get in fedora 10....
Apache is set to start on runlevel 2, 3 and 5, just like MySQL. For some obscure reason this always fails. I tried resetting the runlevels, but this did not help and I always have to start apache manually after reboot.
How can I analyze this problem? In the Apache logs I don't find the cause. Is there an other log I can check?
When I try to start Apache2 (apachectl start) the command prompt returns right away. But when I check the processes (ps ax) I can't find httpd. And when I try to hit the server from a browser I get "the page cannot be displayed" error.
I have a problem, I'm have a course at high school (webserver management) in class this morning we had to install apache, php, ftp and so on but I didn't finish on time so when I got home I was playing around. I'm on wireless here and changed the vm connection from bridge to nat.
normally we had to install apache using yum (yum install httpd) and start the service. that's what I did and then we had to go to firefox (or IE) and type the ip of our server. but when I do I get "problem loading page" instead of the apache default page. I've set httpd runlever 2 to 5 to on and rebooted. but still not working.
We have installed apache 2.2.15 webserver on A rhel 5 Linux 64 box using the user wwwadm group www
We can start the webserver using root and it works fine but we dont have root access forever so we want the wwwadm user to have all the rights and we can start/stop/restart the Apache server using this wwwadm user.
I've been pulling my hair out on this one. I haven't had to reboot my server in many many moons, but when I did recently, everything fired back up just fine... except httpd!The strange thing is that if I log in after reboot and simply type:
I put this file in cgi-bin folder of Apache server. Here is my problem : when I run this file with shell as root user it makes change to iptables, but when I use my browser to run this file, it doesn't make any change. I'm sure this is because Apache doesn't have permission to manipulate iptables. How can I start Apache as a user with root privileges ?
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it works fine. Next, I attempted to install Apache 2.2.16 server on the machine. I was able to get Apache installed but I cant't get it to start. The command I used to get it to start is "apachectl -k start" and got the response "command not found". Then I used the absolute path which is "/home/Administrator/Downloads/apache/bin/apachectl -k start" and got the response"httpd: could not reliably determine ther server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.no listening to sockets available, shutting down". Please advise me on what to do. My eyes hurt from looking at the screen for so long trying different options and reading almost all the apache install instructions that exists. Just ready to have it up and running.
I have Webmin installed on an Ubuntu server. I currently have a successful apache server running on port 80, however I want to create a virtual host on port 81. When I try I go to servers->Apache Webserver-> Create Virtual Host I change the port to 81 and the document root to /var/port81www then I click create. How ever when I goto 192.168.1.5:81 (local ip, I know I have to port forward but its not even working local) it does not work.
I now have the server at the school up and running. Myself as well as one other teacher have no problem finding the server, connecting to it, and even transferring data to and from. I however have one other teacher that get an error when trying to connect. Says that the server name is no longer available.
I'm trying to set up a private irc server. I install ircd-ircu, modify the configuration file, restart the daemon, and everything works great. After the next server reboot, the server shows the daemon is running, but I can no longer connect to the server from my irc client. I've tried restarting the daemon with no luck. I can then uninstall and reinstall it with the same outcome. Everything works initially, but after rebooting, the irc client can't connect..
