I have apache 2 via MacPorts running.
First issue, reloading I use apachectl. Often times I forget to cd
to the macports area and enable Apples distro. Is chmod -x
apachectl sufficient to solve that?
I can move, rename, symblink, or alias, but wanted opinions on the
suggested way.
After a apachectl graceful, which I'm doing often as I secure and
tune phi.ini, looking at output from ps I see all httpd processes.
Each has the graceful command in the ps output
There are usually 10-15 threads running like this. I am used to
just seeing httpd listed, sans the graceful line.
Is apachectl the incorrect way to start, stop, or allow a friendly
reload where connections can finish?
I've seen another command used to starts and stop, httpd I
believe, is that the preferred method? What's the difference?
I can't answer your questions but I like to just write shell
scripts that load, unload and reload services or combinations of
services using launchctl.
What do you get for: `ps aux | grep http`
I have about 10 lines of
_www 74642 0.0 0.1 94448 4636 ?? S Sun05PM
0:00.39 /opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k graceful
I actually have a hack of a time stopping apache. Is the idea to
start and stop it via launchctl? Or is trying to start and stop it
via apachectl or httpd -k stop just mean that launchd is going to
kick it in start again?
I had to unload the plist, kilall httpd, and then finally got a
clean ps output.
What does your apache shell script look like that starts, stops, and
reloads?
If you have launchd monitoring a service that launchd is supposed to
launch if it crashes I'm afraid all your apachectl type apps that kill
and then start services will not work well. Launchd will see the
service go away and fire it back up and apachectl type apps will also
be starting the service. Things like postfix/postconf that can alter a
configuration without bouncing the process shouldn't have this problem.
So I just write very simple scripts like:
loadapache.sh
#!/bin/bash
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache.plist
unloadapache.sh
#!/bin/bash
launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache.plist
reloadapache.sh
#!/bin/bash
unloadapache.sh
sleep 5
loadapache.sh
