Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: (HELP)

[awaisuk]

Whenever i restart my httpd, it tells me this:

Stopping httpd: [ OK ]

Starting httpd:

Why is it not saying [ OK ] for STARTING HTTPD?

When i run these commands "service httpd status" and " ps aux | grep httpd":

httpd (pid 27556 27555 27546 27545 27451 27448 27433 27394 27346 27325 27324 27224) is running...

I dont know if that is rightly started or not.

Check your start script for httpd to see if it's set to show the [OK] if the service is started.

It looks like it's running. Try just stopping it and then doing the ps aux command, to see if it's stopping.

(Don't forget to restart it.)

This is what i get after i do the ps aux command: (This is the stuff for today, i didnt copy all the stuff from previous days)

How do i know if it stopped or not?

try to run the command : netstat -at
from the output try to find this :

tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN

If you find it then your server is started

Usually you are not getting the [OK] signl because there is a warning in/var/log/httpd/error_log eg:

[Wed Aug 19 18:31:51 2009] [warn] Init: You should not use name-based virtual hosts in conjunction with SSL!!

 

[nobaloney]

You'd get the [OK only if it's in your startup script, which is why I mentioned that.

to see if httpd is running you'd run:

ps waux | grep httpd

and of course ignore the line for the grep command if it shows up.
