Thank you. I now know:
  • You are running 4.4-release on i386 architecture, and without any of the errata patches, as patch#1 is a kernel patch.
  • You have 256 MB of RAM defined.
  • You are running with APM, and ACPI is disabled.
  • You are running the OS from within a VMWare virtual machine.
I don't see anything indicative of a problem, directly, but this information is helpful in two ways:
  1. Patch #4 is for httpd. It does not appear to directly apply, as it is related to mod_proxy, which is not enabled by default in /var/www/conf/httpd.conf. Examine the file, and confirm that mod_proxy is commented out. Please consider applying the patch, as well.
  2. 256MB may not be sufficient RAM, since you run X (both Fluxbox and KDE have been mentioned by you in other threads, if I recall correctly). If you run out of RAM and swap space, your OS will stop operating properly.
Question 5: What is the size of your swap space?

Hint: to answer this, see the output of:
$ swapctl -lk
Since this appears to be an httpd process hang, and not an OS hang, perhaps you can gather more diagnostic information:
Run top(1) from another console while httpd is started and inoperative. Filter for httpd, and examine any httpd processes shown. Is one or more CPU bound? If not, what is/are the process(es) waiting for?
Diagnostics may be obtained from tools like gdb(1), systrace(1), and ktrace(1), but you do not appear to have the applicable skills or knowledge required to deploy them. We are left with empirical examination using tools like top, systat(1), and vmstat(1).

Please don't hijack your own thread, bsdnewbie. If you need assistance with MySQL:
  1. Research deployment and configuration of the database platform on your own, first.
  2. Install the packages required.
  3. Configure as you require for your application.
  4. If you get unanticipated results, research the cause as best you can.
  5. If you still need assistance, consider if your trouble is OS, database, or application related.
  6. If application related, post your question on the appropriate application support forum or mailing list.
  7. If database related, ask your question on the appropriate MySQL forum or mailing list.
  8. If OS related, bring your specific question here ... but in a new thread.
