Topic: Apache systemd[1]: httpd.service failed

[isotropic]

Good evening, gentlemen.
I'm here again, this time asking for help with an Apache that won't start.

to: systemctl status httpd.service
reply:
       httpd (pid 2295) already running
       systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache systemd[1]: httpd.service failed.

I have Tomcat running on port 8080. But I disabled it in an attempt to find the Apache error.

Can you help me?
Thanks

Good evening, gentlemen.
I'm back to tell you that Apache is now working.
After so many uses of systemctl start, restart, status, etc. so much,
it started working again after a reboot.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards.

we do not use httpd.service on sme but httpd-e-smith.service. 


trying to play with the one we do not use will conflict and fail the one we use. 

the name of the service is the same since sme 7

Hello friends, good evening.
I managed to start Apache. It's working. But I can't find the folders I usually use.
Can someone help me find the DocumentRoot folder and the configuration files?
Thank you.
Cheers.

Please don't just go hacking wildly at config files - you will break things. Koozali SME server uses events, actions and templates to generate files auto,magically for you.

You will see this a lot - it is there for a good reason:

Note the warning here:

Look in /etc/e-smith for more.

Also please have a longer read of the manual where it explains ibays etc.

You might want to look at the this contrib as well

If you want to use custom folders/directories then you are going to have to start hacking about with httpd templates and I don't recommend you do that right now. Keep it simple and use an ibay.

Hello, ReetP, good evening.
ReetP, unfortunately, I gave the impression that I was modifying the SME Server's internals. But I'm not. First, because I don't have much knowledge of Linux. Second, because SME already has everything the user needs.
I needed to install two things via code: Java and Tomcat. Additionally, I'm going to add two RAID 1 hard drives and install BackupPC. And always using the 'how-to' instructions. That's all. Please believe that I don't want complications. I like SME for its simplicity.
Big hug.

Update: Instead of installing two disks in raid 1, I preferred to reinstall SME Server on the raid 1 disks. Much easier. Safer. Less invasive.
Awesome!!!
