Hey there. I just did a clean emerge of Apache and, when i use start from init.d i get:

Code:
Artemisa vhosts.d # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                              [ ok ]
 * Starting apache2 ...
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/apache2'


These things could be usefull as well:

Code:
Artemisa vhosts.d # grep -r "Listen 80" /etc
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:Listen 80
Artemisa vhosts.d #


Code:
Artemisa vhosts.d # netstat -lnp |grep :80
Artemisa vhosts.d #


and maybe these one as well:

Code:
Artemisa vhosts.d # emerge -pv apache

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Hi Skirmitch,

at least one issue is that you have not enabled any of the MPMs

Quote:
APACHE2_MPMS="-event -itk -peruser -prefork -worker"


Exactly one is required. Also please check the log files in /var/log/apache and your system log for apache error messages indicating any other reason for failure.

Best Regards,
Holger

I've the same problem.

As I read somewhere, mpm-worker is set by default.

Confirmation:
Code:
 * Selected default threaded MPM: worker


Besides that I set APACHE2_MPMS="worker" and the problem still exists.

I have this same problem, and it seems to be with mod_perl. If I disable PERL in /etc/conf.d/apache2, there is no problem. If I enable it, the problem appears. It seems to be because mod_perl changes the /proc/<pid>/comm value from apache2 to /usr/sbin/apach (it is truncated to 16 bytes) and therefore start-stop-daemon loses track of the process.

Unfortunately, I have no idea yet why mod_perl does this or how to prevent it.

There seems to be a fix in Fedora: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mod_perl.git/commit/mod_perl-short-name.patch?id=e18c20f9e3cdc3e062f75e8d54fdd4520d2f719f

It does fix the problem, but I have no idea what else it breaks... (my guess is that it's harmless)
