          I cannot stop the service

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

            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.

                    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?

                            That's what provides that file.

                              Try removing the app that Apache runs and see if Apache will start when clean before looking further.

                                Also, consider just moving to a maintained server. RHEL 6 is one thing today, a stretch, but one thing. RHEL 5 constitutes and abandoned server of no value. Why bother with trying to fix a workload deemed "not important enough to run?"

                                  We've been told we are phasing it out but if history is any indicator that could mean years. They like to tell us what we want to hear and then not doing anything about it.

                                    No one has asked yet (and I'm assuming this) but why haven't you restored to a known working condition?

                                      Well then, just tell them it phased itself out. Problem solved since they were planning to do this anyway. If they push back, tell them that they need to move to something supportable if phasing out wasn't the actual plan.

                                      You need to tell them what you want to hear.

                                          Is this something that you can restore to separate hardware/hypervisor just so the system is operable while you work on this down system?

                                          It seems like there is a need to have this system function, but not with any real priority. So the simple approach might be to just stand up a working version and compare them side by side.

                                            It's always nice to know root cause, but sometimes it is very difficult to replicate an issue like this.
