Problem reloading #23

Closed DeesoSaeed closed 6 years ago

DeesoSaeed commented 6 years ago

Hello

Whenever I execute $systemctl reload httpd the command gets stuck and I can observe this output in /var/log/messages

Sep 4 00:17:37 front01 systemd: httpd.service reload operation timed out. Stopping. Sep 4 00:19:07 front01 systemd: httpd.service reload operation timed out. Stopping. Sep 4 00:20:37 front01 systemd: httpd.service reload operation timed out. Stopping. Sep 4 00:22:07 front01 systemd: httpd.service reload operation timed out. Stopping. Sep 4 00:23:37 front01 systemd: httpd.service reload operation timed out. Stopping.

Of course logs aren't begin rotated as reload command isn't working. I've tried to reload apache directly from command line with the same outcome. The service keeps working but the only way to apply configuration or rotating logs has to be done via restart.

Tested for versions 2.4.33 and 2.4.34 on Centos 7

I wasn't able to reproduce this error message on a fresh install.

systemctl reload httpd

tail -n 0 -f /var/log/messages:

Sep  4 08:17:26 test7 systemd: Reloaded The Apache HTTP Server.
Sep  4 08:17:26 test7 httpd: Server configured, listening on: port 80

journalctl -n 0 -f -u httpd:

-- Logs begin at Tue 2018-08-28 03:17:54 CDT. --
Sep 04 08:17:26 test7.ius.io systemd[1]: Reloaded The Apache HTTP Server.
Sep 04 08:17:26 test7.ius.io httpd[3751]: Server configured, listening on: port 80

There could still be a problem in the packaging but I'm not able to observe it with the default configuration. I'll need to know more information in order to help troubleshoot this.

Sorry about the delayed response. I've found the problem in the config itself.

The directive ExtendedStatus was set to Off as part of the CIS Security hardening recommendation. Apparently. There's some kind of dependency with systemd and reloading doesn't work corrrectly if ExtendedStatus isn't activated.

After changing ExtendedStatus to On the problem went away.

I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to the IUS build I haven't had the time to check it against default packages,

Kind Regards
