Apache Fails and Service httpd restart does not start SSL

[mmkassem]

After compiling Apache now it stops alone.

Restarting using service httpd restart does not start SSL only:
[Mon Jul 21 08:17:27 2003] [notice] Apache/1.3.28&
nbsp;(Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.
0 PHP/4.3.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 configured -- resuming
normal operations

However using WHM it start SSL:

Mon Jul 21 08:32:19 2003] [notice] Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.0 PHP/4.3.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.15 OpenSSL/0.9.6b configured -- resuming normal operations


Any help?

Try killing off apache before you attempt to restart it:

killall -9 httpd (do this 3 or 4 times)
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl

Then tail your apache error log and report back all errors/warnings.

Thanks .. Only the unclean shutdown warn appears

[Mon Jul 21 09:03:04 2003] [warn] pid file /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?


Seems to be fixed now.

Thanks again.

Unclean shutdown is caused by the killall commands...I think perhaps you had some old processes kicking around that were causing you some headaches.

I think it's a bug in mmcache session.save_handler which makes it does not work with mod_ssl

when:
session.save_handler = mmcache

Apache fails using the service restart.
Then starts using service start without SSL
using service restart after this will always start without SSL

when:
session.save_handler = files
Apache restarts with SSL

Do you think this is resonable?

Was this problem and the SSL issue fixed with one of the updates today? What version was that?

Does your apache fail when for example you set up a sub-domain in Cpanel (which restarts httpd)?

It was not a Cpanel/Apache problem
