Apache PID changing daily
Hi,
We are running apache 1.3.20 and something has been
happening in the past few days to reset the apache pid. We
are not using logrotate or any other utility to rotate
logs.
When i stop apache with ./apachectl stop it says, no such
pid (because the pid has changed and the httpd.pid file is
trying to kill the old pid).
Any idea why or how this pid is changing and what is the
problem. i am attaching the error_log file below.
Also, i created a small monitoring script that could log
the pid of the file every half hour and it seems the Apache
PPID changed around midnight (between march 19 00:15 -
00:45). I hope this is useful. Please let me know if you
need other information.
Thx,
radhika

Despite what you say about not having a logrotate cron-job, you *must*
have some cron job which is restarting apache. To investigate further:
- check the modification date on the pid file (ls -l) to see when apache
was last started
- go into the error log and find the entry from around that time. You
should see some message like:
[Mon Nov 12 13:05:21 2001] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Mon Nov 12 13:05:24 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) configured --
resuming normal operations
This will prove apache really did restart and didn't just magically
change its pid file.
Then, check the crontab for the user who starts apache (could be root) -
see if there is any job which gets executed at this time. Note that it
need not necessarily be "apachectl restart" in the crontab - it could be
a program which invokes this: you'll have to dig a bit...
Rgds,
Owen Boyle.

if there is a soft link to your apache installation , check if by any chance
this has been altered.

Just a small guess.
Did you move your apache installation to some other folder?

Re: Apache PID changing daily

Check that the PidFile directive in your httpd.conf names
the same file as the one listed in the apachectl script. If these
are not in sync, you'll get odd restart cases.
