systemctl start/stop services

syscon · 2020-10-27 21:48:01

I'm new to arch but I was wandering why starting services via "systemctl" doesn't display anything on the screen.
I've tried Debian before and starting for example apache2 display some output on the screen: eg. "OK" etc.
So user knows there was no errors.

'echo $?'

syscon · 2020-10-27 22:25:13

Thank you for reply, but it is a bit cryptic to me; what do I do with 'echo $?'
Do I modify a file etc?

echo $? prints the return value of the previous command. If there was an error it would be printed. If systemctl was not asked for any output, it will not provide any unless something goes wrong.

That was not very helpful.

Running:
echo $? systemctl restart httpd
0 systemctl restart httpd

but
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=active

doesn't show apache running.

echo $? systemctl restart httpd

Print the exit status of the previous command followed by the string systemctl restart httpd

It is hard to trouble shoot apache error as noting is showing in the log files.

Ah, what? This has nothing to do with anything else in this thread. So this is an XY Problem?

Please describe your actual problem if you want help.

Also - and I know this is hard to receive well - you may want to reconsider the distro you are using. It seems you are not familiar with the fundamentals of a shell or command line execution of *nix programs. If that is the case, arch will not be right for you at all. Get some experience with other distros first. If you do stick with arch, please take some time working through good linux tutorials like the ones here:

When I try to "localhost" I get in error log: /var/log/httpd/dummy-host.example.com-error_log

[client 10.0.0.112:49420] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /etc/httpd/docs

I don't have any "docs" file in /etc/httpd/

Trilby · 2020-10-28 00:01:24

That doesn't mean much without knowing how you configured your host/vhost. More importantly, it is a completely different topic from this thread.

Please start a new thread to describe the actual problem. Describe how you configured apache, and post all modified configuration files (in the new thread).

Here is my httpd.conf

I disabled my configuration files that I loaded, so when I start it a browser and go to: localhost I should get some output, but instead I'm getting Acesss forbiden!

This thread has been an XY Problem from the start. Combined with the minor CoC violations, I'm going to close this.

@syscon Please start a new thread, stating clearly the problem you're having (including an accurate title), and you will find you'll get much more productive responses. Please read this article to help you write a high-quality post: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
