httpd - Web Interface not accessable - start/stop/restart failed

[Guest]

After a reboot the web GUI can not be accessed any more.
The httpd process seems not to work, the port is not in use:

Code:

root@proxy:/ # netstat -ln | grep 10443
root@proxy:/ #

A start/stop/restart fails..

Code:

Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd:                                            [FAILED]

..and the log files are empty.

Code:

root@proxy:/ # tail -f /var/log/httpd/* -n200

Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Kind regards

Which version are you using? Is there any other firewall in between? Windows firewall? Tried after reboot?

[hiddenbit]

I use the latest version 2.5.1 and a reboot didn't solve the problem. There is no firewall in between. The httpd process couldn't start on the Endian firewall (see my netstat command).

[fqureshi]

It could be a corrupted install. Can't say much ..may be if you try it installing on a separate box and see how it goes??

[hiddenbit]

The installation ran well till yesterday and had no error or problems. Any other ideas how to fix it or to check, why the apache/httpd doens't start correctly?

[ehermouet]

I have exactly the same error. i don't know why. no log, and nothing... except failed.

anybody know how correct this ?

tks advance

login to ssh
#apachectl restart

If you get this below error
 endian SSLCertificateFile: file /etc/httpd/server.crt does not exist or is empty

Then copy server.crt from /etc/httpd/cert/      to      /etc/httpd/

apachectl restart    or /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

[sourcebreak]

login to ssh
#apachectl restart

If you get this below error
 endian SSLCertificateFile: file /etc/httpd/server.crt does not exist or is empty

Then copy server.crt from /etc/httpd/certs/      to      /etc/httpd/

apachectl restart    or /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

apachectl restart    or /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

you can just by using the Endian restart script:

restarthttpd --force

It will restart apache and regenerate the certificate or make a symlink
