Fedora 16 HTTPD (Apache Server) Not Working

[Ashley]

I am useing 64 bit installation of Fedora 16 and have been attemting gto get a LAMP server working. All of the packages for the server are installed and configured. SeLinix is dissabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and with GRUB with the command selinux=0. MySQL works and is running however there seems to be a problem with HTTPD. When I check the status with systemctl I get:

systemctl status httpd.service
httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server (prefork MPM)
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:03:06 -0700; 2h 1min ago
Process: 3607 ExecStop=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 3600 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/httpd.service

It gives an Active Statusof "inactive (dead)" which it shouls not be giving. This aloso happens on my 32bit system running Fedroa 16. However When I run Fedora 15 I get and Active status of "active (running)."
I am unable to get this server working at all. Any ideas as to what may be wrong?

Hi

I've got the same problem as you. Re-starting the httpd server results in it staying running. I can access it via localhost but not from remote machines.

Did you manage to fix it?

Thanks

uninstall your LAMP server, and use Fedoras Apache server package (httpd) instead. A guide is here. Hm after reading your post again, I have no idea if this can help you.

You may be having a problem with it starting too soon. It need to be delayed until after MySQL is started, and that may require additional specifications on its "After=" line in the systemd configuration.

Hi

Thanks for the posts.

It turned out that the firewall/iptables got switched back on by the upgrade.

Weirdly, it switched everything else off!
