http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978543 Bug ID: 978543 Summary: apache should start after remote-fs (nfs mounts) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Apache Assignee: bnc-team-apache@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: adaugherity@tamu.edu QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_4) AppleWebKit/601.5.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.1 Safari/601.5.17 Build Identifier: Currently with systemd, apache and NFS mounts are started in parallel. This is a regression from sysvinit, where apache had: # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network If apache is configured with a DocumentRoot on an NFS mount, or includes some config files from said mount, it may fail on boot. (It sometimes succeeds, depending on how long the NFS mount takes -- it is nondeterministic.) Behavior is identical on both Leap 42.1 and SLES 12 SP1, which of course share apache packages. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add an NFS mount to /etc/fstab. 2. Configure apache DocumentRoot to somewhere under this mount point. 3. Reboot. Actual Results: Apache (sometimes) fails to start on boot: May 02 18:25:27 dhcp-108 start_apache2[839]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/default-server.conf: May 02 18:25:27 dhcp-108 start_apache2[839]: DocumentRoot must be a directory May 02 18:25:28 dhcp-108 start_apache2[898]: httpd (no pid file) not running May 02 18:25:28 dhcp-108 systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache Webserver. Expected Results: Apache starts properly after NFS filesystems are mounted. The fix is to add remote-fs.target to the After setting in the systemd unit file: --- /usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service 2015-11-05 07:42:10.000000000 -0600 +++ /etc/systemd/system/apache2.service 2016-05-02 14:33:25.569065156 -0500 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ [Unit] Description=The Apache Webserver -After=network.target nss-lookup.target time-sync.target +After=network.target nss-lookup.target time-sync.target remote-fs.target Before=getty@tty1.service plymouth-quit.service xdm.service [Service] ==== Fedora encountered this same bug a couple years ago in RHBZ#751591, coming to the conclusion that After=remote-fs.target is the proper fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
