The apache init script used to restart apache properly back in 2.0 but since 2.2, it doesn't always restart properly. Here's what I usually get when I try to restart: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * Stopping apache2 ... [ ok ] * Starting apache2 ... httpd (pid 6594) already running [ ok ] The effect of this is apache stopped and never restarted even though it says ok and is says it's already running (ps -e | grep apache doesn't return any processes). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Actual Results: Does not always restart. Expected Results: Always restart when restart command issued. emerge -pv www-servers/apache: [ebuild R ] www-servers/apache-2.2.8 USE="ldap ssl suexec threads -debug -doc (-selinux) -sni -static"
