6.34 fresh install Apache doesnt work Topic is solved

[teevee70]

I performed fres install on SSD via USB boot Rpi3b+ . Apache2 web server is not running and not success to solve it.
Ir is fresh install without any modification. I have installed apache as part of LAMP from dietpi interface.

Bellow see some linex from my attempt to solve it.
root@BlackFan:~# sudo systemctl enable apache2
Synchronizing state of apache2.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable apache2
root@BlackFan:~# sudo systemctl start apache2
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can you suggest me some solution
Thanks Tomas

My next attempt to solve it.
1) I have completelly purged apache2 from DietPi system via apt.
2) I have installed appache via apt command

but no success: (see bellow terminal apt output). I have to emphasize it is fresh new installation of Dietpi without any mods.

Hi,

probably better to check the error message before installing Apache back and force. Because there are indications on what the error could be

On your 1st attamed

Code: Select all

pro 29 07:35:53 BlackFan apachectl[581]: (2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/

> /var/log/apache2/ did not exist and would need to be created

On your 2nd attamed

Code: Select all

pro 29 09:43:42 BlackFan apachectl[1318]: /usr/sbin/apachectl: 174: /usr/sbin/apachectl: /usr/sbin/apache2: not found

> Apapche executable not found. Looks like not installed correctly

Yes I know that but explain me why on fresh Dietpi install is apache2 installation not correct ?
What is a way install it corectly other than apt ?

well DietPi is doing nothing else than installing Apache2 apt package.

I did a test installation on my RPi3B+ 32bit OS and it was working without issues. Apache service is running

Code: Select all

I have removed NO-IP config before next Apache2 install and it lead to success. Apache is working now.
