httpd dead but pid file exists

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

apachectl status
ELinks: Connection refused

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

I cannot stop the service

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:

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.
