I can't stop the service even if I try to rename the old pid file

What about disabling the httpd service and then restart the server?

This is going to sound stupid, but this is rhel 5. I see that I can disable service on startup but I actually don't see the option to disable the service. I also need to put a reboot request in to reboot a production server.

Hope these links help.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/5/html/deployment_guide/s1-apache-startstop

None of these disable

This should disable httpd on each runlevel
chkconfig --level 2345 httpd off

And according to the system manager manual, chkconfig --del httpd will remove the service from chkconfig management, and any symbolic links in /etc/rc[0-6].d which pertain to it are removed.

This user issue was related to postfix. Yours could be something else but the firsts is worth trying.

Have you already tried temporarily disabling SELinux too?

wirestyle22

@black3dynamite Someone already had it disabled. Cardinal sin

Did you try killing the pid, ensuring the pid file is removed and then restarting?

scottalanmiller

Do this...

systemctl restart httpd ; tail -f /var/log/messages

And collect about a screen's worth. Let's see if anything is reported immediately following the start up.

that was in your error log before:

I am seeing a new entry in the logs:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/oci8.so' - libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Did you kill the pid and remove the pid file before restarting it?

Yes I did. It just re-creates the file and gives the same error.

Is oracle-lib-compat installed?
