Bug#803190: apache2: systectl status apache2.service reports startup failed, even though apache2 is running
Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.10-10+deb8u3
Severity: normal
After upgrading to jessie the apache2 init script reports failure (via
systemctl) even though it actually starts up correctly.
adam@gaba:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.serviceJob for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
failed!
Hoever, it does actually startup correctly:
adam@gaba:~$ ps aux | grep /usr/sbin/apache2

www-data 7199 0.0 2.0 100224 10196 ? S 12:45 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
`systemctl status` does not imply what the problem is:
adam@gaba:~$ systemctl status apache2.service

# Specify a default language. This means that all data

# Note 1: The suffix does not have to be the same as the language

# E.g. 'Danmark/dk' versus 'Danish/da'.

# specifier. There is 'work in progress' to fix this and get
