RE: [cobalt-users] web server on raq 4 not responding

I must stress that only kill the "/usr/sbin/httpd -" entries... not the
other stuff :)

When I edit the httpd.conf, sometimes it doesn't respond. By this i mean i
type for example www.pseudo.com.au and the browser sits there and thinks...

What I do is type:

ps aux |grep httpd

Sometimes there is only one process. Other times there has been multiple
created. Like the sample below:

root       541  0.0  0.8  7324 2212 ?        S    Jan05   0:01
/usr/sbin/httpd.a
httpd    25894  0.0  0.0 88400    0 ?        SW   Feb28   0:00 [java]
httpd    19727  0.0  3.9 13852 10104 ?       S    Mar04   0:03
/usr/sbin/httpd -
httpd    25254  0.0  3.9 13936 10220 ?       S    Mar04   0:01
/usr/sbin/httpd -
httpd    25255  0.0  3.8 13800 10024 ?       S    Mar04   0:01
/usr/sbin/httpd -
root       852  0.0  0.2  1368  520 pts/0    S    00:04   0:00 grep httpd

There was actually 5 times as many but this email would be too long :).

Now.. For some reason it's not responding. So I kill them all. To do this:

kill -9 19727 ( or whatever pid it is )

So in my case above I would type:
kill -9 19727
kill -9 25254
kill -9 25255

Then do: ps aux |grep httpd
... just to make sure you got them all.

Now you need to start httpd back up again:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/./httpd start

And hopefully everything is okay. You said you rebooted and nothing. Sounds
weird.
What's in your boot logs and httpd error and access logs.

Access your main page and look at your access log. See if it responds there.
regardless, go into your error log and see if there is anything fishy there.

to view these logs:

tail -n 50 /var/log/httpd/access
tail -n 50 /var/log/httpd/error

I suggest you: man tail for more info.
I love to: tail -f -n 50 /var/log/httpd/error and just watch it :)

Regards,


Kai.
