Bug 343271 – Default Apache won't load

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Bobb Shields 2010-10-29 16:43:31 UTC]

I had two issues with the default config.  First it couldn't determine the server name, so it defaulted to localhost.  Putting an entry into /etc/hosts for the server's ip fixed this issue.

The second issue is shown by the following commands: Asterisk_Extra apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Stopping apache2 ...
httpd (no pid file) not running                                                                                                                        [ ok ]
 * Starting apache2 ...                                                                                                                                [ ok ]
Asterisk_Extra apache2 # apache2
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

This was fixed by setting "Listen *:80" in vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf  (it didn't have the '*:'.)


Reproducible: Always

Which apache2 version do you use? (please comment the output of `emerge -pv www-servers/apache`)

Asterisk_Extra htdocs # emerge -pv apache

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

This is a user configuration issue. It's up to the user to set the hostname for a box and configure the system accordingly.

Did you enable DEFAULT_VHOST on APACHE2_OPTS - /etc/conf.d/apache2? This seems to be another user configuration issue.

I just tried it and it worked flawlessly for me. I resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Please reopen if you still experience problems. Thank you for your report.
