Hi all, I am trying to come up with a vanilla systemd unit file so that our RPM packaging contains a sensible startup on systemd environments, but I’m struggling.
With the unit file below the “systemctl restart httpd” command hangs. Usually the server starts fine, but then the server is stopped by something a short while afterwards for no clear reason. According to google the hang in systemctl happens for many people, systemctl is waiting for a message that never comes, but the causes are widely varied and I am struggling to figure out exactly what is wrong. What I am trying to achieve is a simple daemon start, with no mod_systemd (which isn’t part of core httpd). Can anyone point out any obvious errors in the following? [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target Documentation=man:httpd(8) Documentation=man:apachectl(8) [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/httpd.pid EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/httpd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful ExecStop=/bin/kill -WINCH ${MAINPID} # We want systemd to give httpd some time to finish gracefully, but still want # it to kill httpd after TimeoutStopSec if something went wrong during the # graceful stop. Normally, Systemd sends SIGTERM signal right after the # ExecStop, which would kill httpd. We are sending useless SIGCONT here to give # httpd time to finish. KillSignal=SIGCONT PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Regards, Graham —
