Issue 1 June 2005 87
Back to: Hardware MOs Server-related alarms
8 MIN “service httpd could not be restarted” — The hypertext transfer protocol
daemon is down. The Web interface will not work.
1. Enter /sbin/service httpd restart to restart the http daemon.
2. If the daemon restarts, manually clear the alarm, either from the:
● Web interface, by selecting Alarms and Notification, the
appropriate alarm, and Clear
● Linux command line, by entering almclear -n #id
If not, escalate this problem for explicit guidance with steps 2a
through 3
a. Enter grep svc_mon /var/log/messages to investigate why the
daemon failed.
Since the following commands cause a brief service outage, they should only
be executed at the customer’s convenience.
b. If the grep command’s output does not help:
● S8700 | 8710: enter server to verify that the suspected server is the
standby. If necessary and at the customer’s convenience, enter
server -if to force a server interchange.
● S8500: Proceed to Step d.
If necessary and at the customer’s convenience, enter server -if to
force a server interchange.
c.
S8700 | 8710: Reboot the standby server, either from the:
● Web interface, by selecting Shutdown This Server
● Linux command line, entering /sbin/shutdown -r now
d.
S8500: Reboot the server, either from the:
● Web interface, by selecting Shutdown This Server
● Linux command line, entering /sbin/shutdown -r now
3. If rebooting the standby does not help or if the problem recurs, escalate
the problem to the next higher tier.
