Newb: Please help with error: httpd (no pid file) not running

Sorry,

Please ignore the message below. I restarted the box for the third time and all seems well for some reason.

Can't delete the thread...

Hi,

I managed to screw something up...

I have just been through the 'Perfect server Ubuntu 8.04 LTS' instructions and the installation of ISPconfig.

I restarted the box to make sure everything was running right but then I got:

Code:

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[sudo] password for myaccount: 
 * Restarting web server apache2
httpd (no pid file) not running
   ...fail!

After a bit of googling I got:

Code:

/var/log/apache2$ sudo tail error.log
unable to start piped log program ' /usr/sbin/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd': No such file or directory
Unable to open logs

Can anyone help me past this? I'm way out of my depth...

Thanks

your apache web server down. start it

#/etc/init.d/apache2 start

check your apache2.conf configuration, maybe the are wrong ? may be configuration for log ?

 

That's done it

Thanks

Hey, i have this exact same proplem... How did you resolve it?

 

Tanuck,

Sorry to be so slow to respond...

I guess you are sorted out now but I think I just kept restarting apache and the error went away.

Sorry not to be more specific...
