Httpd can't start anymore

Hello,

On OpenMandriva LX 3 (KDE) updated today the command “systemctl start httpd-prefork” hangs for some minutes and then exit with error.
Before timeout expiration httpd seem to be working.

With “journalctl -r” command i get:


feb 27 17:54:29 srpc systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server (prefork MPM).
feb 27 17:54:29 srpc systemd[1]: httpd-prefork.service: Failed with result ‘timeout’.
feb 27 17:54:29 srpc systemd[1]: httpd-prefork.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating.
feb 27 17:52:59 srpc systemd[1]: httpd-prefork.service: Can’t open PID file /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
feb 27 17:52:59 srpc systemd[1]: Starting The Apache HTTP Server (prefork MPM)…

I verified that “/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid” file exists and contain the correct httpd pid. Probably startup script read pid file before is created.

I googled for the problem but I found nothing useful.

Is there any known problem about this?

@steros Thanks for your report.

I’ll try to fix that. Till that time please use nginx.
