Dear friends,

again I find myself at my vit's end. I used to compile apache by hand and never had an issue like this. This time I have a fresh apache2 from gentoo repos and everything runs swimmingly - at least until I ran "netstat".

Code:

xxxx /etc/apache2 # netstat -tulnp

Soo - where the hell is my apache? I can use it, it seems to work just fine (both on the external ip and on localhost), I just don't see it in "netstat". Should I be concerned?

I should note that I have a mile long httpd.conf file and dozens of vhosts on this machine, I haven't attached just yet because it would have to be heavily redacted first :(. I will if anyone suggests I should....

Hy.

Seems like you're using systemd for your services... which is fine (I guess).

systemd provides something called "sevice-based activation" for sockets (or rather it's services). While this does provide some benefits (especially with multiple services at startup) it's debatable whether or not a service manager should handle this. That's a completely different story.

From the looks of it you are using systemd and apache2 with mod_systemd. If so (fairly sure) then this is normal.

Systemd works with units, one of which happens to be sockets.

You can check the output of the following:

Code:
systemctl list-units --type=socket --all


on your machine for comparison to your netstat output.

If you already have iproute installed on your system you can use the
Code:
ss -l
command (which you should prefer from now on over netstat).

If not you can install iproute:

Code:
emerge -av iproute2


I don't think that it is required to post your httpd.conf since the service is handling requests (as per your telnet).
If none of the above fit we'll embark on an adventure.

Kind regards,
az0r

You found something quite interesting indeed!

I have apache2 running on both ipv4 and ipv6 on a openrc machine. Netstat also appears to NOT find its ipv4 listening sockets, but DOES find the ipv6 listening sockets.

I was looking around and found 'ss' which found the ipv4, but NOT ipv6 sockets (!) -- just the reverse, which is baffling!

ss is part of iproute2. ss appears to use the same options as netstat, but its reporting is different so it will break scrapers.

OP: what is the output of emerge --info sys-apps/iproute2 sys-apps/net-tools?

Where do you see that?

As I understand it, that is just systemd assuming a role once held by inetd and later xinetd. In all cases, the socket should be visible as listening. The only variance would be in which process owned the socket.

The tcp6 sockets are also act as the IPv4 listening sockets, which is a feature of IPv6 sockets (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/237731/why-are-ipv4-tcp-connections-showing-as-tcp6).

On my box (OpenRC based) Apache is listening on IPv4 and IPv6 too and the output is similar:

Code:
netstat -tulnp | grep apache
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1839/apache2
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN      1839/apache2


I would guess that ss only shows these kinds of socket the other way around.

Code:
ss -ap | grep http | grep LISTEN
tcp   LISTEN     0       128                                                  *:http                                                            *:*              users:(("apache2",pid=20305,fd=6),("apache2",pid=20304,fd=6),("apache2",pid=1839,fd=6))
tcp   LISTEN     0       128                                                  *:https                                                           *:*              users:(("apache2",pid=20305,fd=4),("apache2",pid=20304,fd=4),("apache2",pid=1839,fd=4))

Dear friends,

thank you for your response.

Signal,
I am pretty sure I am running the default OpenRC. (eg: I am controling services through rc-service & rc-update commands, hope I am not wrong)

Hu,

emerge -info sys-apps/iproute2 sys-apps/net-tools

It was only a guess with the output provided and it's what I personally would look into first (based on ss's output). Other services are listed just fine like mysqld. To my knowledge mysql do not have systemd's socket-based (on-demand) activation support but apache does with mod_systemd and it's handling requests just fine. Thus the guess on my part.

Yes and yes. It should be listed either way.
