[users@httpd] Apache non-start on Solaris
Hello all (my first message),
I am unable to start Apache successfully - the httpd process starts, but
immediately disappears with no relevant error diagnostic. Here are some
points:
- Apache version: 2.0.54 - absolutely default build and install (build and
install completed easily with no errors)
- Start command: apachectl -k start
- Running as root
- No core file
- LogLevel in conf file: debug
- OS: Solaris 7
- Hardware: SPARC Ultra 5
- pid file is created (but no process with this pid exists once command
prompt returns)
- nothing written to error_log, except on a subsequent start attempt, where
there is one entry warning
of the pid file being overwritten
- command prompt returns almost immediately, only output indicates httpd
cannot determine fully qualified domain name and uses IP address for ServerName
- there are no port conflicts
- there are no problems with permissions
- there is no other httpd running on the system
I have scoured the internet for help with this problem with no
success. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated
Best regards,
Paul Buttemer

How about starting the httpd process manually w/o using apachectl?
Somethimes the httpd binary will spew out bad errors to stdout and not
the errorlog, and this may be a way to catch it.

Try running under strace (or the solaris equivalent -- I don't
remember). Also perhaps try httpd -X to run in single-process mode.

Are you using _default_ in your vhost definitions? Solaris httpd will
crash with it, at least in Solaris 9 and lower (haven't tried it on 10 or
11beta)
