I also have that sometimes. It happens (I think) if a Perl interpreter in Apache is restarted because of perlInterpMaxRequests is reached or because one crashed. If I immediately restart Apache after I do a fresh start, it always restarts fine.
I do also a 'stop' and then after the service stopped, a 'start' that works most of the time. ----- Thomas den Braber -----Original Message----- From: Octavian Rasnita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Raymond Wan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Foo JH <jhfoo- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: modperl@perl.apache.org Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:09:43 +0200 Subject: Re: modperl2 + apache2.2 unable to restart > Hi, > > I am also using modperl 2.03 with Apache 2.2 under Windows XP, and I > have > very often problems when trying to restart the web server. > > I use the following command: > > net stop apache2.2 > > It tries to stop and after a few tens of seconds it reports that the > server > cannot be stopped. > If I try to start the web server immediately after this, using > net start apache2.2 > it complains that the server cannot start because the port is used. > > If I use again the command > net stop apache2.2 > it gives a strange error telling that this command is not available for > the > specified service, or something like that. > > But I have discovered that the OS keeps trying to stop the service, and > after some more time it stoppes the web server, and I can start it > again > fine. > > Maybe my experience helps. > > Octavian > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Raymond Wan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Foo JH" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <modperl@perl.apache.org> > Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 1:15 PM > Subject: Re: modperl2 + apache2.2 unable to restart > > > > > > Hi, > > > > Foo JH wrote: > >>> What's the actual error from the error_log? > >> Below shows apache shutting and and restarting...and failed. > >> > >> [Thu Jun 14 17:30:19 2007] [notice] Parent: Received restart signal > -- > >> Restarting the server. > >> [Thu Jun 14 17:30:19 2007] [notice] Child 5780: Exit event signaled. > >> Child process is ending. > >> [Thu Jun 14 17:30:20 2007] [notice] Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) > >> mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0-dev mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 configured > -- > >> resuming normal operations > > > > I'm actually new to both Apache and mod_perl (a few weeks!), but if I > were > > in your situation, one thing I would try is to remove apreq2 and > mod_perl > > and try starting Apache 2.2 without them.
