Default Running Apache

After trying to chroot native httpd, I decided to move back to Apache 2.

But I can't start it. Is it blocked on OpenBSD 5.6?

Is there any trick to start Apache2 on OpenBSD 5.6?

Also, in rc.conf there's only a httpd_flags associated to hhtpd so I presume we cannot start Apache2 at boot?

Thanks...

Hello, and welcome.

Apache 2 is not a built-in application. Instead, it is available as a 3rd party package, installable via pkg_add(1). The name of the package is apache-httpd. This was used to differentiate it, historically, from OpenBSD's fork of Apache 1.3 that used to be a built-in application. OpenBSD's Apache 1.3 is still available, as a package: apache-httpd-openbsd.

If you're unfamiliar with pkg_add(1) and OpenBSD's other third party package management tools, please refer to FAQ 15.

I know perfectly how to add a package... Apache 2 is properly installed on the system. It just don't start nor with sudo apachectl2 start neither with sudo httpd2 -k start.
I get absolutely no error message, the syntax of the conf file is ok. No httpd2 process runs after those commands.

That was not clear from your initial post.

The pkg_info(1) tool has a handy -L option. The output will show what is installed, or, as shown in my example below, the output is from an inspection of an uninstalled package located at $PKG_PATH.

The executable programs installed with Apache 2 are highlighted, and the start/stop script for use in rc.conf.local(5) is highlighted in red.
Code:
$ pkg_info -L apache-httpd

I did the pkg_info output before to be sure all was properly installed. All is ok.
The problem is I can't start Apache2 in any way.
There's two methods I know for starting Apache2

sudo apachectl2 start

and

sudo httpd2 -k start

when I type those commands, absolutely no errors are displayed but the process doesn't start.

Also the /etc/rc.d/apache2 in /etc/rc.conf/local doesn't start Apache2 neither on startup.

I guess there is a tweak to start Apache2 on Openbsd.

I'm going to guess that your Apache 2 installation starts, then stops, as it needs provisioning -- such as revisions to /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf.

I put 5.6-release on a USB stick, booted it, installed Apache 2, and ran it without making any provisioning changes. Here were my results:

Here's my output:

doing _rc_read_runfile
doing rc_check
apache2
doing rc_pre
doing rc_start
doing _rc_rm_runfile
(failed)


In your example I guess the server doesn't start because it can't find a fully qualified domain name.

But in my case absolutely no error message appears!

How can find what's going wrong?

I found these options in the httpd2(8) man page.
Code:
       -e     Sets the LogLevel to level during server startup. This is useful
              for temporarily increasing the verbosity of the error messages
              to find problems during startup.

       -X     Run httpd2 in debug mode. Only one worker will be started and
              the server will not detach from the console.

Ok, problem solved.

It was a line missing in the /etc/hosts file. Lacks the IPV4 adress associated with my machine domain name.

Now it works perfectly!

Thank you for your kind help and for the time you spent answering!!

Glad you got it working!

(I've never used Apache 2. Currently my webservers are either nginx or httpd, depending on the application.)
