compaq 1850R server, fresh mandrake 10 install w/ apache2. if the server is booted w/ apache disabled, it boots fine, i can login and run 'service httpd start' and everything works properly.
however, if i 'chkconfig httpd on' and reboot, it will hang while starting apache. if i ssh in and run 'ps aux|grep httpd' this is the result: root 2799 0.5 0.3 2856 1592 ? S 20:49 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc3.d/S92httpd start root 2943 0.0 0.1 1584 516 ? S 20:49 0:00 initlog -q -c httpd2 -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf root 2944 1.2 0.5 8812 2748 ? S 20:49 0:00 httpd2 -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf so something in init script or init itself is hanging. now, here's the oddest part: if i go to the physical console and hold down the ctrl key for a few seconds, httpd finishes starting and the server is 100% up a few seconds later. i've installed mandrake 10 on over a dozen servers and have never seen this problem. hell, my -own- server is an 1850R w/ mdk10 and it works fine w/ apache. i am baffled by this behavior. this is a big problem as this machine is supposed to be a mail and web server. it won't boot with apache enabled, and it won't serve up web content with it disabled. anyone have any thoughts? no joke, $20 to the first person who can help me figure out how to make this thing boot w/ apache enabled. jason -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
