      <STRONG>I'm using RedHat Linux and I have problems with httpd

      dying randomly or not restarting properly</STRONG>

     </A>



  <P>

  RedHat Linux versions 4.x (and possibly earlier) RPMs contain

  various nasty scripts which do not stop or restart Apache properly.

  These can affect you even if you're not running the RedHat supplied

  RPMs.

  </P>

  <P>

  If you're using the default install then you're probably running

  Apache 1.1.3, which is outdated.  From RedHat's ftp site you can

  pick up a more recent RPM for Apache 1.2.x.  This will solve one of

  the problems.

  </P>

  <P>

  If you're using a custom built Apache rather than the RedHat RPMs

  then you should <CODE>rpm -e apache</CODE>.  In particular you want

  the mildly broken <CODE>/etc/logrotate.d/apache</CODE> script to be

  removed, and you want the broken <CODE>/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd</CODE>

  (or <CODE>httpd.init</CODE>) script to be removed.  The latter is

  actually fixed by the apache-1.2.5 RPMs but if you're building your

  own Apache then you probably don't want the RedHat files.

  </P>

  <P>

  We can't stress enough how important it is for folks, <EM>especially

  vendors</EM> to follow the <A HREF="../stopping.html">stopping Apache

  directions</A> given in our documentation.  In RedHat's defense,

  the broken scripts were necessary with Apache 1.1.x because the

  Linux support in 1.1.x was very poor, and there were various race

  conditions on all platforms.  None of this should be necessary with

  Apache 1.2 and later.
