Bug 444218 – www-servers/apache-2.4.3 - init script doesn't handle failed start correctly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Toralf Förster 2012-11-21 20:00:55 UTC]

At a user mode linux image (unstable Gentoo) wrongly configured to get ip address via DHCP instead of having a static address apache2 does not start, but the init script doesn't realized that

n22_uml /etc/apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...
AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for n22_uml.uml_domain
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'



n22_uml /etc/apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 status
 * status: started

Please post your `emerge --info www-server/apache' output in a comment.

I acn do that, but please notice, that I misconfigured that system (which is wanted for some other testing purpose) and simply stumbled over this.

Um, the ebuild is called "apache" not "apache2". So the most important bit of output is missing.

ick, I *often* run into this pit fall, here it is (FWIW I triggered the crash AFAICR by sending a different hostname via dhcpcd requests than defined in /etc/conf.d/hostname)

Please re-emerge apache and report back here if this is still a problem.
