SOLVED Apache Service won't start

[Rodrigo Gomes]

The Apache service is not starting with the boot.
No warning message appears in the logs, apache just does not start. But when I start manually, everything works normally.

Another strange thing is that in the Service Status "httpd" appears Ok.

Hello,

Do you notice any error output related to Apache in the /var/log/boot.log log file?

Thank you.

But I do not understand why, this ip is idle, and why just at boot?
And I must worry about the mailman services?

This is my network config (I hide some info):

I found a problem similar to mine: apache will not start on boot. - CentOS

But the proposed solution "systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service" did not work for me because I do not use NetworkManager.

A few days ago I followed this tutorial to disable the NetworkManager and activate the Network (recommendation of the cpanel installation guide):
9.3.2. Disabling Network Manager

And I believe that's when the problem started.
Is there any other solution I can try?

Hello Michael!
Because it is a simple problem, I would like to try to solve it on my own and with your help in the forum.

I'm not in a hurry to resolve this issue.

I was able to fix this problem by adding: After=network-online.target
In: /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service

[Unit]
Description=Apache webserver managed by cPanel EasyApache
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/httpddisable
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/apachedisable
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/httpdisable
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_httpd --no-verbose

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I also did something similar to Rodrigo Gomes, my after statement also included ipaliases to make sure each additional IP address was setup too:

After=network-online.target ipaliases.service
