[users@httpd] Apache says it's started but it hasn't....
Okay it tells me it's started but there are no processes when I do a grep
and nothing in the error_log
Any suggestions?
# ps -ef|grep apache
# ./apachectl start
./apachectl start: httpd started
# ps -ef|grep apache

In recent versions of Apache, mod_autoindex does not show
files/directories that the user would not be allowed to access. This is
to prevent possible unintentional disclosure of information.

[users@httpd] Strange behaviour of user's pages
Posted by Roberto Barbieri <r....@carpinet.it>.
Hi,
i noticed a strange thing happening with users homepages.
When a user put files or directories on his /home/user/public_html dir
everithing, including indexing, works fine.
The strange thing happens when the user create a .htaccess file
inside a subdirectory, like:
/home/user/public_html/subdir/.htaccess
After creating this file, if i try to browse http://hostname/~user/
the directory "subdir" disappear while the others files and directories
are shown. Obviously if i remove the .htaccess files all works fine again
and the "subdir" shows itself again.
What the problem can be?
This is how the user's homepages are configured:
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
Thanks in advance for any help!
Roberto

Actually... I think these directives are based on your version
of mod_ssl. I think the SSLEnabled will work either way but if
your mod_ssl is version 2.x then you can use SSLEngine on
Sorry for the confusion.

If I remember correctly you are on a Solaris box.
I have run into this problem before and its very frustrating.
Since the logs are showing you nothing, my next step would
be to take a look at what is really happening.
The following will create a big ugly file with a bunch of stuff
that looks impossible to understand.
truss -o truss.out -f ./apachectl start
----[sidenote]----
If you have linux, I believe the equivalent would be:
strace -o strace.out -f ./apachectl start
If so, just do a man strace
----[/sidenote]----
If you issue that, all the system calls, signals and faults of the
process and child processes will be sent to the file truss.out
>From there you might be able to get some insight as to what
exactly is causing the failure.
This file is not easy to read and you might want read the man
pages on it to see if some of the options might be interesting
to you but the man pages don't tell you how to read the output
but rather how to pick and chose what you want to output and
to some extent, how you want it to look.
There could be things that on first pass look like errors
where the process says it couldn't find something in a certain
path but if you look it will keep looking in other places and
in the end actually does find it.
Usually what I do edit the truss.out and go to the end of the
file and work my way up because the message where process terminated
will be most likely be at the end. Of course, some condition that
was recorded earlier in the file might be the reason it terminated.
Sometimes even using truss doesn't reveal what you were hoping it would
but since it takes almost no time it's worth a go.
