[Bug 54520] New: Command Line Stop Error
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54520
Bug ID: 54520
Summary: Command Line Stop Error
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.2
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: mpm_winnt
Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: stevenmartin99@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
The Documentation says that apache can be controlled from command line when NOT
using a service,
To start apache type
httpd.exe (works fine)
To stop restart etc type
httpd.exe -k stop
httpd.exe -k restart
This does not work and fails with the error
[mpm_winnt:error] [pid 4480:tid 116] (OS 2)The
system cannot find the file specified. : AH00436: No installed service named
"
Apache2.4".
I have tried this with apache 2.2.17 and 2.2.21 and it also fails pointing to a
service Apache2.2 not installed.
Im not using a service and have never installed the service with this name.
Why is apache not checking the PID in the httpd.pid and killing that exe like
it used to?

It was working in an older version...
The documentation still said it works.. ( until you edited it)
It makes sense that it should work
And there is no reason that it shouldnt work...
that makes it a bug
The help file for httpd.exe STILL says
1.3
-k shutdown : tell running Apache to shutdown
-k restart : tell running Apache to do a graceful restart
2.2
-k restart : tell running Apache to do a graceful restart
-k stop|shutdown : tell running Apache to shutdown
2.4
-k restart : tell running Apache to do a graceful restart
-k stop|shutdown : tell running Apache to shutdown
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-k is supposed to singal to the RUNNING apache, ie the PID in the PID file.

-k is not for a service, its used as a reminder as kill ,
this is written in the documentation....
-n is for service name
so
-k stop -n apache2.2 should stop a service named apache2.2
-k stop should stop the apache running who's PID is in the pid file

Thanks for making a mess.
Now the documentation is useless
Under the heading "Running Apache as a Console Application" you added bits
about Services...
This used to work in apache on windows...thats why the documentation is written
as so...
Please provide a link to where this feature has been removed in apache and the
docs were just not changed...

Yes, the console section talks about using the shortcut and then talks about
what the shortcut does if you have a service:
========
Apache will execute, and will remain running until it is stopped by pressing
Control-C.
You can also run Apache via the shortcut Start Apache in Console placed to
Start Menu --> Programs --> Apache HTTP Server 2.4.xx --> Control Apache Server
during the installation. This will open a console window and start Apache
inside it. If you don't have Apache installed as a service, the window will
remain visible until you stop Apache by pressing Control-C in the console
window where Apache is running in. The server will exit in a few seconds.
However, if you do have Apache installed as a service, the shortcut starts the
service. If the Apache service is running already, the shortcut doesn't do
anything.
If Apache is running as a service, you can tell it to stop by opening another
console window and entering:
=========

In all the maintained releases, -k only signals a service on Windows.
I'd suggest changing this to an enhancement and updating the abstract. It
won't be resolved as a bug.

Can you see the documentation page as I see it?
There is 2 SECTIONS.....
The first is about services
The second was about runnig it as a console application until you edited it
and started to add bits about services into it.
IT DOESN'T SAY , "Running Apache SERVICE FROM THE COMMANDLINE"
IT SAYS "Running Apache AS A CONSOLE APPLICATION"

you need to install the service to run properly apache, you must install the
service in this way:
running the console as administrator
httpd -k install -n "ServiceName" in this case Apache

Console ... I hear you.
I think this did work in 1.3.x and maybe 2.0.x as well running on Win95/98/ME
since they didn't have Windows services. I remember mashing ctrl+c back in
those days would leave the pid file behind, and a nice little error message
about not gracefully stopping on next start up.
I'm assuming that back in those days httpd would check if running on an NT
version or not, and use the -k signal for console or a service accordingly.
Mashing ctrl+c has been the way I've been doing for years, and at least with
2.2 and now 2.4, the pid file will get removed properly. So, since Win95/98/ME
are long dead, the pid file is properly removed when mashing ctrl+c, all
Windows versions these days are NT based, I see no big need for this 15 year
old behavior come June 20th.
Much of the old code that dealt with Win95/98/ME has been ripped out of the
source as well so I do not consider it a bug. I consider it a reality of
current times (only NT versions of Windows).

You're looking at 2.2 documentation, and I'm looking at 2.4.
Even in 2.2:
However, if you do have Apache installed as a service, the shortcut starts the
service. If the Apache service is running already, the shortcut doesn't do
anything.
You can tell a running Apache to stop by opening another console window and
entering:

No, I added entries to the section about running it as a service. You can even
see in the context of the diff the changes are preceded by "To start an
installed Apache service you'll use this:"
>

Used to? When?
The section of the manual you pointed to says the _shortcut_ uses a service if
it exists, at which point -k stop|start can be used.
> Please provide a link to where this feature has been removed in apache and
> the docs were just not changed...
I've got no idea if or when anything changed. It sounds like some fringe
feature, but if you can narrow it down I'd certainly have a look.

To run Apache from the command line as a CONSOLE APPLICATION, use the following
command:
httpd.exe
You can tell a running Apache to stop by opening another CONSOLE window and
entering:
httpd.exe -k shutdown

Can i just point out , your all reading it wrong
its not from a console - ITS AS A CONSOLE
i just went to the trouble of downloading apache1.3 and IT WORKS
to start as a console (type)
apache
to stop ( open a new cmd and type )
apache -k stop
and you look in the other console window and it has stopped.
Its a bug, or else its been removed and if so why...
ctrl + c is not a solution , just like the original docs said
