Bug 7995 – apache start script and apachectl

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman Majer 2002-09-16 11:38:32 UTC]

/etc/init.d/apache script uses for stopping and restarting  
/usr/sbin/apachectl script... this apachectl script is not aware of 
/etc/conf.d/apache file. 
 
Problem: 
 
If apache server is not started and I use /etc/init.d/apache restart 
the apache is started WITHOUT modules specified in /etc/conf.d/apache 
 
version of ebuild: apache 1.3.26-r3

could you post /etc/conf.d/apache so i could see what you're talking about ?

There is no need to send all /etc/conf.d/apache 'cause there is only 
one line: 
 
APACHE_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4 -D PERL" 
 
Much more interesting is /etc/init.d/apache restart section: 
 
svc_restart() { 
	ebegin "Gracefully restarting apache" 
	/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful 
	eend $? 
} 
 
As you can see, this script is using default apache start,stop script 
and this apachectl is not aware of gentoo's /etc/conf.d/apache file. 
 
So when apache is not running and I call /etc/init.d/apache restart 
(perfectly legal situation), the apache server is started WITHOUT 
modules defined by /etc/conf.d/apache.

Fine... works... 
 
Now there is only one bug with apache start/stop script which I need 
to solve (I have to patch it each time I upgrade) ... 
It's bug #5556... :-)) 
 
Please, please look at it.... 
 
I have local primary DNS (127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf) so solving of this 
bug (#5556) is very important for me... 
 
Thanx a lot for your time..
