Apache2 service won't stop

[ghost]

I can start the server fine. The qualified domain name error is pretty common error when you first test apache. I'm having trouble stopping the service though.

using

apachectl stop
apachectl -k stop
apachectl graceful-stop
apachectl -k graceful-stop

does not kill the server.

~ $ apachectl stop
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
(20014)Internal error (specific information not available): AH00058: Error retrieving pid file var/run/apache2/httpd.pid
AH00059: Remove it before continuing if it is corrupted.

also killall and removing the pid file doesn't kill the server.

killall -9 httpd 
rm ${PREFIX}/var/run/apache2/httpd.pid

cleared cache in browser to double check after running kill commands and nothing happens. the process still runs in the background.

ps aux | grep httpd

also comes back up empty handed.

mlocate also comes up empty handed

whereis apache

this is not okay, especially if in a public network.

also there is no var/www/html as far as i can tell

find ${PREFIX} -type d -name 'www'

returns nothing.

server root is set to $PREFIX which leads to a dead end.

after poking around ${PREFIX}/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, i find document root is set to ${PREFIX}/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs which breaks convention, but considering termux doesn't have the standard heiarchy, this makes sense in a weird way. I would still have left it as ${PREFIX}/var/www, but its not a big deal.

After looking at the error log

I found no real helpful clues.

because apachectl is a wrapper for httpd, i looked at the shell script to see if there was anything special about it aside from config options which led to lynx (haven't looked at it yet though).

i decided to run the stop commands using httpd -k directly, but that didnt do anything either.

3. If program write it's own log files, you may need to attach them.

UPDATE: After some trial and error, ps aux returned the httpd PIDs and I was able to use kill -SIGINT {PID} to end the process.

Its still weird that ps aux didn't pick up on this until last minute though. Maybe something to do with the terminal session.

I created new terminal sessions to open files with less to check them out and on the last tty i decided to give a try again and this time it showed up.

After clearing the browser cache, I was able to verify that the httpd service had ended. I stil have no idea why the processes wouldn't show up after starting apache though.

[gakowalski]

Same problem here with stopping Apache. I'm killing the service with pkill -f httpd.

[Sharaf5]

Same issue but it didn't stop and even deleting termux and clearing data leaves apache running

[Grimler91]

I've added a termux-services script for httpd so it is now possible to start and stop httpd with sv up httpd and sv down httpd (after running pkg upgrade; apt install termux-services)

[Sharaf5]

@Grimler91 it didn't help me itself but thanks… it have given me the idea to solve it

the problem was that the apachectl couldn't rebind to the specified port this is a problem running apache with no superuser previlages i fixed that with this

netstat -tulpn
# get PID

kill -TERM {PID}

apachectl -k start

Thanks alot

[tomty89]

Can you do strace httpd -X &> process.log in one session and then strace httpd -k stop &> killing.log in another? Assuming it won't be killed, just Ctrl-C in the former. Report back with the files attached.

You may also want to check (and compare it with the pid in pgrep -a httpd) $PREFIX/var/run/apache2/httpd.pid after starting it (but before killing it).

Hello, thanks you for your research and your help in finding a solution. after long research and testing I will share with you my solution on termux (debian):

1) echo "ServerName localhost" >> /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

pour l'erreur : * Starting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

commande apache normalement (erreur!):

apachectl start    -------(for the firt time)
apachectl stop    -------(erreur)
apachectl restart ------- (erreur)
apachectl -t -D DUMP_INCLUDES

Usuellement (work) : Arrêt apache avec killall (pkg install psmisc) : killall -9 httpd redémarrage complet apache: killall -9 httpd ; rm ${PREFIX}/var/run/apache2/httpd.pid ; apachectl -k start

marche aussi si android redémarre sans avoir stoppé apache. killall -9 httpd ; rm ${PREFIX}/var/run/apache2/httpd.pid ; apachectl -k start

autre solution : netstat by @Grimler91 @AbdelazizSharaf001 redémarrage apache: netstat -tulpn -- to get PID

kill -TERM {PID} ---To kill PID associé a httpd et a son port 8080 apachectl -k start

$ netstat -tulpn

everything worked for me!

sorry for my french-english thanks for your contribution cordially

Kill MariaDB

killall -9 mysqld_safe || killall -9 mysql

Kill Apache HTTPD

killall -9 httpd

[ghost]

killall -9 mysqld_safe || kill all -9 mysql

Nothing related to this issue and also command part kill all -9 mysql has typo.
