In case you haven't found the answer yet, I think the issue is because you are using the init.d script instead of apachectl like in the example you point to. Essentially, when using the init script without stating a pid file, I think god is really monitoring whether the init script is running - not apache. Have you tried adding the apache pid file path to you god configuration?
Or, you could grab the shell command executed in the init.d file and replace /etc/init.d/apache2 start/stop in your god config. (But, I think the right approach is to add the pid file declaration) On Mar 16, 12:49 pm, Brian McManus <[email protected]> wrote: > So I followed this blog to get get an apache.god set > up:http://blog.blenderbox.com/2008/03/11/monitoring-apache-with-god/ > > I stop apache by hand and then start it with god -c apache.god. god > status indicates that apache is up.
