Os: Fedora Linux
Webserver : Apache ver 2.1.2
Issue:
Figured out Apache Server is not running when i run the command “service httpd status” until then i am running http://localhost/ in the browser which is working fine and unable to run any other programs
and when i used this command “# service httpd status: i got the below message
[root@hirodexdbserver ~]# service httpd status
httpd dead but subsys locked
i thought it might be some locks issue and restarted the server
#service httpd restart – i got the below error again.
**********************
[root@hirodexdbserver ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]

Steps to Resolve the Issue
——————————–
after figuring out and looking at my httpd.conf file and make sure the pid file is pointing to the right file
PidFile run/httpd.pid
and change the path here to
go to /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd open this file
and find the below line.
pidfile=${PIDFILE-/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid}
to:
pidfile=${PIDFILE-/var/run/httpd.pid}
Restart the Apache Server
# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
which should give you the above status.
hope this helps.
Thanks
