Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.53-4 Severity: important
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart does not work. It always tells me it is already running, then after a little while, apache2 just dies. Looking at the init-script, it is caused by the following lines: echo -n "Forcing reload of web server: Apache2" apache_stop sleep 10 $APACHE2CTL startssl Not only is this racy, its also extremely annoying having to wait for a restart based on a seemingly randomly chosen value. Changing the sleep to 20 fixes the problem here, but this is still no real fix. One way could be having a loop that runs once a second checking if apache2 is dead; and time out with a error after 60 seconds or so. Several other packages implements it this way (squid comes to mind). Funny 10 seconds is too little on a 3Ggz p4 system with no real load... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-s0p1-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apache2-common depends on: ii apache2-utils 2.0.53-4 utility programs for webservers ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libmagic1 4.12-1 File type determination library us ii mime-support 3.28-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-10 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl 0.9.7e-2 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ssl-cert 1.0-11 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
