Re: Apache dies silently?
You're probably using unstable, are using PHP4 packages, and do not
include PHP4 support with apache-ssl. Your system probably chugged along
happily because you haven't done any apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
for a while. At least, that's how I got burned.
There's some kind of conflict with PHP4 and apache in Unstable. The
following worked for me:
more /etc/apt/preferences
Package: php4
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: php4-mysql
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: php4-imap
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: php4-cgi
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: php4-pear
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: php.*
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
(Pins the PHP4 stuff to stable until this mess gets straightened out!).
Thanks to Fabio Massimo Di Nitto from the debian-apache team for helping
me figure out what what up.
Ah well... that's why it's named unstable!

All of a sudden apache dies silently, nothing in any logs, it just never
starts up. apache-ssl runs fine tho. I did a "strace apache" which didnt
really reveal anything that i could see. Quite frankly, i am not even
sure how to start to debug this one? The server has been running fine
for ages?
