Topic: apache seems to hang

[edwardsmarkf]

hello - ever since i went to centos7 and started using systemctl, i have started to occasionally have situations where apache seems to just stop.

and this morning, when i tried to issue:

systemctl stop httpd.service
systemctl start httpd.service

apache would not start.

'systemctl status httpd.service' gave the the message below.

suggestions?

I think there is maybe a syntax error or some misconfiguration. Search for httpd.

Then run httpd -S

e.g.
