[SOLVED] Restarting httpd (via systemctl): job failed

[janpihlgren]

I have just installed Mageia 2 x86-64. Installed Apache and phpmyadmin and mariadb.
I wish to use phpmyadmin to do fast checks of databases.
I can't remember or understand why httpd wouldn't start.
I need some hints to correct what's wrong.

Look in the log /var/log/http

you are probably missing a required package

[janpihlgren]

There was no /var/log/http
I search in messages an found the following:

Dec 11 08:59:02 zebbie drakxservices[4863]: GP_LANG="UTF-8" service httpd-event restart

I don't know how change the file /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authn_file.so
I supose that the value will be ELFCLASS64 but I'm not sure.

The log files are in /var/log/httpd directory. In there you will find access_log and error_log

Well here is your problem. It looks like you have mixed up 64 bit and 32 bit packages. Check the sources and the packages you have installed.

Well here is your problem. It looks like you have mixed up 64 bit and 32 bit packages. Check the sources and the packages you have installed.

I see that problem when using "Add & Remove Software".
Both the 32bit and 64bit versions of rpm's are shown and one has to be careful to choose the correct one.
urpmi does that automatically.

I uninstall apache 2.2.23 1.mga2. The directory /etc/httpd disapear.
I install apache 2.2.23 1.mga2. The directory /etc/httpd was there again.
I tried to start httpd by MCC and get the same error.
I will try to use CLI and urpmi. First I will uninstall apache again.
Then I did an install by CLI

Code: Select all

[root@zebbie jan]# urpmi apache

The same error.

[djennings]

And what about apache-mod_php and apache-mpm-prefork ?

They should also be installed and be the 64 bit version.

[janpihlgren]

apache-mod_php where installed but apache-mpm-prefork not
I installed apache-mpm-prefork.
Now httpd started
Thank You djennings
