Description Tadas 2011-08-04 08:01:45 UTC

After I start apache with /etc/init.d/apache2 start it fails to stop with "stop" or restart with "restart"


# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Starting apache2 ...
httpd (pid 15088) already running                                                                                                                                      [ !! ]
 * ERROR: apache2 failed to start



# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
 * WARNING: apache2 is already stopped


But it is running!

Reproducible: Always

When submitting bugs, attach your supporting files to your report instead of using pastebin services (otherwise important parts of your bug report disappears after a while).

Now regarding your problem -- if you run 'apache2 -k stop' at the command line, does apache eventually stop? If so, how long? I'm suspicious that the 'TIMEOUT=1' line in the checkconfd() function of init script is not long enough.
