I have just updated to 2.0.59-r1, updated the init.d script and decided to restart apache, however it says: No /usr/sbin/apache2 found running; none killed. ps aux clearly shows apache running apache 13559 1.5 1.7 270640 36868 ? Sl 17:09 0:02 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li apache 13667 0.8 1.0 254024 22100 ? Sl 17:09 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li apache 13761 0.6 1.0 254152 21936 ? Sl 17:09 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li apache 13951 0.8 1.2 257960 26608 ? Sl 17:09 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li apache 14223 0.5 1.1 254628 23208 ? Sl 17:09 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li apache 19634 0.6 1.2 257352 25020 ? Sl 17:09 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D SSL -d /usr/li So now the only way to restart apache is to restart the system (which I frankly rather not do)
This is a one time only bug, because start-stop-deamon doesn't have information about the running apache. Do a manual stop (killall apache), zap the service (/etc/init.d/apache2 zap), then start it (/etc/init.d/apache2 start). After that you shouldn't have any issues. Please let me know if this doesn't work for you.
I am stupid.... That worked fine, thanks a lot and sorry for bugging you. Keep up the great work.
It's not one-time bug. The way /etc/init.d/apache2 is now written, start-stop-daemon (at least the one from baselayout-1.12.9-r2) will be unable to stop apache2 after every update of apache2 binary, which is not so often, but still not only one-time. (Reason is start-stop-daemon will compare inode of current /usr/sbin/apache2 with all processes and find no match, because running apaches are refering to now deleted previous version) It is true that sequence apache2ctl stop, /etc/init.d/apache2 zap, /etc/init.d/apache2 start will do correct restart, but it will still be better if /etc/init.d/apache2 restart really worked.
