wattaman Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi! Can someone help me to start Apache, please? I've rented a dedicated server and don't know to use it, lol I'm using Webmin to to configure my website, but when trying to start Apache it only says: Failed to start apache : : * Starting apache 2.0 web server... ...done." Anyway, my linux knowledge is almost absent - I'd appreciate some easy to understand solutions. Btw, I have Ubuntu 6.06 and Apache is 2.0.55. The error above I'm getting when usiong the Webmin (1.430) but I've also tried some commands I've found on apache.org and they gave me other errors, telling me the file is not there, or the directory... have no idea what is talking about. Thank you! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125677-starting-apache/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 So you rented a dedi server without any knowledge of how to manage it? Nice. Anyway, try looking in the Apache error log. Location will differ depending on installation location, but it will probably be /etc/apache2/logs.

Thanks for the answer, I've found the log file in a different location. There's this thing that appears many times: [Wed Sep 24 11:30:09 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down Does it says anything to you?

corbin Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 A SIGTERM is a signal telling an application to terminate. In other words, something is telling Apache to shut down. Or, there could just be an error going on somewhere. What all is running on your box, and is there anything weird about the Apache config?
