When starting apache2 through the init.d script - it fails to create a proper pid file, which will make stopping through init fail. (I'm on 2.2.4 at the moment, 2.2.3 had the same behaviour if im not mistaken) host / # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop ; ps aux | grep apache2 * Stopping apache2 ... No /usr/sbin/apache2 found running; none killed. [ !! ] root 7357 0.0 0.0 40120 3056 ?

Johan, what is the output of running "md5sum /etc/init.d/apache2" on your system? I'd like to check if you're using the same init.d script as me, which has an md5sum of 87d0730dcb0ee4aedcebecf300691245 and was installed by the apache-2.2.4 ebuild ($Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-www/apache/apache-2.2.4.ebuild,v 1.2 2007/01/28 20:00:33 chtekk Exp $). I'm not having any trouble stopping apache, and the pid file is created on my system.

Ouch. I commented out mpm since i rather handle all my apache configs in one file than splitting them out - therefore never changing pid to apache2.pid instead of httpd.pid... So i guess this is INVALID or WORKSFORME? :) One stab at this would maybe be considering using httpd.pid (that is - the "default") instead of apache2.pid to avoid further similar complications? Andrew: Thank you for taking the time to help a fellow user out!
