When I try to restart apache2 I get:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Starting apache2... [ !! ]

and there is nothing in the error_log.  Trying to stop apache2 give me this:

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
* ERROR:  "apache2" has not yet been started.

but my pages are being served just fine. Does anyone know what's going on here?


You must have somehow started apache2 manually.

try
# killall apache && sleep 5 && /etc/init.d/apache2 start
That should restart it for you, and bring it under control of the Gentoo initscripts again.
The sleep 5 is to give apache time to finish exiting



Thanks, worked like a charm! I wonder how apache2 could have been restarted manually though. Should I be worried?

I bet you are using the "thread" use flag, it change the MPM of apache ... and make it very slow at shutdown time. Sometimes 5 seconds are no enough too.

btw try to avoid it if you are using mod_php, rumors are that it causes memory leak also if I've never suffered of them.
