Soemtimes I do get during boot : * Starting apache2 ... AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for n22 AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/apache2' [ ok ] But the "[ok]" is wrong. An attempt to start Apache2 gives n22 /etc/apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start * WARNING: apache2 has already been started but apache1 isn't running, just after a restart it works well : n22 /etc/apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * apache2 not running (no pid file) * Starting apache2 ... [ ok ] I think the init script should consider at least the pid file too for a decision if the service is up or not.
Can you please check if /etc/init.d/apache has the following patch applied: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-servers/apache/files/gentoo-apache-2.2.23-initd_fixups.patch?revision=1.2 If it's not applied please re-emerge apache and try again.
well - works now with 2.4.7 - thx.
