[users@httpd] httpd can't start because it's not yet running
Hi folks!
root@host $ httpd -k start
(20014)Error string not specified yet: Error retrieving pid file /var/run/httpd.pid
root@host $ ls -l /var/run/httpd.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 20 02:44 /var/run/httpd.pid
Same problem with httpd:httpd permissions. 'strace' says:
[...]
open("/var/run/httpd.pid", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "", 13) = 0
write(2, "(20014)Error string not specifie"..., 84) = 84
[...]
Where is the problem?
Greetings,
fips

There is no "PIDFILE" in my apachectl.
Thank you anyway!

That's screwed. It should create it when it starts.
Are you using some Redhat monstrosity with SE extensions or something.

No, this never did work by now:
open("/var/run/httpd.pid", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(2, "no listening sockets available, "..., 46) = 46
write(2, "Unable to open logs\n", 20) = 20
Any further hints?
Thanks,

Well it looks like it, doesn't it? Did you see the strace output?
apache opens the file,
tries to read 13 bytes, and hits end of file
no error is thrown.
Looks to me like Apache is reading the pidfile, but it's empty.
Try deleting it and trying again.

Do you have a PidFile directive in httpd.conf? Does it match up to
where Apache would expect it?
What about PIDFILE= in apachectl? Does that point to the same place?
Thanks
