Bug#868861: Mitigation
The complete and better walkthrough (systemd users only!), some parts
might be redundant if you allready migrated to the proper systemd
invocations:
This completely fixed the "There are processes named 'apache2' running
which do not match your pid file which are left untouched in the name of
safety, Please review the situation by hand. ..." warning (and the
application kill that follows).
0: systemctl disable apache2-instancename && systemctl stop
apache2-instancename
1: delete /etc/init.d/apache2 and /etc/init.d/apache2-instancename
3: ln -s /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/apache2-instancename
4: edit /usr/sbin/apache2ctl:
- Find: HTTPD=${APACHE_HTTPD:-/usr/sbin/apache2}
- Replace with: HTTPD=${APACHE_HTTPD:-/usr/sbin/apache2$SUFFIX}
5: systemctl enable apache2@instancename && systemctl start
apache2@instancename
Important notices:
0: that your envvars in the apache config should change the suffix from
@instancename to -instancename as is debians default (if not simply do
the ln -s with @ instead of -)!
1: After every apache upgrade the /usr/sbin/apache2ctl mod needs to be
performed again!

Bug#868861: High priority
Can we set this bug to high priority? This is a sneaky bug that causes instances to get whacked by systemd and causes random dropouts that are (very) hard to diagnose depending on the users skill level. -- With regards, Michiel Hazelhof. OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#868861: Mitigation
Made two small tweaks to hopefully mitigate this behaviour:
ln -s /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/apache2-instancename
edit /usr/sbin/apache2ctl:
change:
SUFFIX="${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}"
case "$SUFFIX" in
/etc/apache2)
SUFFIX=""
;;
*)
SUFFIX="@$SUFFIX"
;;
esac
to:
EXTRA=""
SUFFIX="${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}"
case "$SUFFIX" in
/etc/apache2)
SUFFIX=""
;;
*)
EXTRA="-$SUFFIX"
SUFFIX="@$SUFFIX"
;;
esac
change:
HTTPD=${APACHE_HTTPD:-/usr/sbin/apache2}
to:
HTTPD=${APACHE_HTTPD:-/usr/sbin/apache2$EXTRA}
This at least gets it running with a different "name", lets hope this
resolves the "There are processes named 'apache2' running which do not
match your pid file which are left untouched in the name of safety," issue.
With regards,
Michiel Hazelhof.
