Apache 2.2 sometimes restart failed

[kalaj]

Sometimes my server's service down, I found that the system has only one httpd process, Apache was half-dead.

Sometimes I restart Apache manually, I got these error:

root@cph:~# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 218.240.14.21:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

And I find "[Fri Jan 18 09:05:04 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down" in error log, no other error messages.

It seems /etc/init.d/httpd has a problem, it can't kill all httpd processes when restart Apache sometimes.

Any help, Thanks a lot :(

Thanks, I'' have a try.

BTW, I notice that my previous httpd init script there was no "Remaining processes: " message when restarting.

Recompiled Apache, the problem still occur :mad:

Recompiled Apache, the problem still occur :mad:Stop Apache and killall remaining processes and start it again
killall httpd
killall -9 httpd

Then restart:
/sbin/service httpd restart

Make sure your partitions did not exceed their allocated quota by running this command:
df -Th
