problem in making applications accessible after a shutdown of server for 2 months

2011-03-30 Thread Tapas Mishra
Hi all,
one of my server was shutdown for 2 months and today only it has been
switched on.
Here are the links
http://openitup.in
http://software.openitup.in
http://social.openitup.in
http://research.openitup.in

When we powered on the machine the virtual machines on top of it are
running but they are not accessible from internet.
Every thing 2 months back before shutting down was running.This is a
reverse proxy setup and I do not see the requests reaching
the Dom0 itself in Apache log.
What can be primary reason for this and what should I follow to trace it?

Ok after further digging this problem I see apache is not able to
start on the machine in question for some unknown reason I do not see
apache pid in ps out put so now what can be done for this?

As always, look into the log files or start the daemon in stand-alone mode, 
i.e. not forking and with a lot of debugging output.

Logfiles: /var/log/apache/* /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/syslog ...

the entries from 30th march on both the links are the ones which some
one might be willing to look.
My problem is solved as I mentioned in my previous message that there
were 2 extra files with name apache present in
/etc/init.d directory and using one of them was what had worked,but I
want to investigate this issue further as why did I needed to do this
? What was the reason that another file apache2.2. was present in
/etc/init.d and using that had worked and not /etc/init.d/apache2 .
My guess is some update might have over written (but I am not having
any facts to support my argument)
let me know what do I investigate ?Or some one can point to some thing
by looking at any other log even I will post.
Because this over writing or creation of files did not happened in the
virtual machines which were also lucid servers on this machine where I
reported this problem.

Hmm since apache was not able to start as daemon
so the requests never reached my web server.
Which I had verified in Apache log as I checked openitup.in I did not
saw any request being logged in /var/log/apache2 access.log or
error.log hence I had pasted the /var/log/apt/*

how ever there are 3-4 lines on this server in question which were
repetition of following

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo_mysql.so' -
/usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo_mysql.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I am not using any mysql on this machine so this line should not be
present or be a reason for the problem
(correct me if I am wrong)

I also checked the daemon.log
http://pastebin.com/c64Vhk4u
could not find any thing suspicious for creation of a different
version of /etc/init.d/apache to /etc/init.d/apache2.2

So I had pasted the apt logs.
