Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.16-6+squeeze4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, First of all, sorry for my poor English. "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" is completed before apache2 is really started. And, "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" is completed before apache2 is really restarted. For example, if "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" and "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" are run continuously, it will be displayed as "Apache2 is NOT running.". But, if "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" is run after several seconds, it will be displayed as "Apache2 is running (pid XXXX).". # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep apache root 2603 1 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2610 2603 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2611 2603 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2612 2603 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2613 2603 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2614 2603 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop Stopping web server: apache2 ... waiting . # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep apache # /etc/init.d/apache2 start ; echo $? ; /etc/init.d/apache2 status ; echo $?

Apache2 is running (pid 2929). 0 And if "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" and "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" are run continuously, it will be displayed as "Apache2 is NOT running.". But, if "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" is run after several seconds, it will be displayed as "Apache2 is running (pid XXXX).". # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep apache root 2929 1 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2940 2929 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2941 2929 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2942 2929 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2943 2929 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 2944 2929 0 05:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart ; echo $? ; /etc/init.d/apache2 status ; echo $? Restarting web server: apache2 ... waiting . 0 Apache2 is NOT running. 3 # /etc/init.d/apache2 status ; echo $? Apache2 is running (pid 2987). 0 This symptom has a bad influence on operation of HA cluster resource manager (such as pacemaker). The attached patch corrects "/etc/init.d/apache2" so that it waits for apache2 to be really started or restarted. Please review the attached patch, and if satisfactory, consider including it in the package. P.S. It seems that this symptom does not occur when the load of apache is low to some extent. In our system, when some modules (such as perl, php5 and python) were enabled, the above-mentioned symptom occurred. But, when some modules (such as perl, php5 and python) were disabled, even if I ran "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" and "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" continuously, it came to be immediately displayed as "Apache2 is running (pid XXXX).".
