httpd service not starting on Windows 2008 (64bit) through Microsoft

Hi !

I am facing an issue in bringing up httpd (2.2.10) configured in Microsoft
Failover Cluster (MSCS) on Windows 2008 64 bit system.

This problem is seen only on Windows 2008 64bit system and through Microsoft
Failover Cluster only. The service starts fine on the same system outside
when started directly from Service Control Manager.

Could you please let me know if you have seen similar issue, and know of any
work around or solution ?

Error noticed:

When the service is started from Failover Cluster manager, ~20 events are
seen in event viewer (basically printing the syntax help spread over many
events):

Description:
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Usage: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe [-D name] [-d
directory] [-f file] .
Event Xml:



...


The Apache service named


reported the following error:>>>
Usage: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe [-D name] [-d
directory] [-f file]



My guess is that httpd is not accepting "-k runservice" argument for some
reason and printing the syntax help.
I read on earlier mail on apache mail list that "-k runservice" is accepted
by httpd only if it is started by service control manager as part of the
kernel:

http://markmail.org/message/4irgpoeth7ccl3c5

I have checked with Microsoft Support, and they confirmed that failover
cluster starts the service by using the service control manager and not
directly. Also, since it works fine on Windows 2008 32bit system, I am
really confused.

What works:

- starting the service directly from Service Control Manager (on the same
system)
- starting httpd.exe as an application (not as a service) on the same system
through Failover Cluster Manager
- starting the service from Failover Cluster Server or Service Control
Manager on Windows 2008 32bit system, or Windows 2003

httpd version - 2.2.10
Windows Version - Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Service Pack 1
(Build 6001) x64 based
The issue was seen on multiple cluster setups and also on Windows 2008 64bit
VMs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I tried an earlier version of apache (2.0.63) and also at simpler path. No
luck.

Any other hints ? Pls let me know.

Thanks,
Raj.

Could you paste the error output? From what you've sent us it looks
like you're not substituting actual values for the optional parameter
descriptions of the program signature, and are also using two slashes
to separate directories instead of one..

Hi,
@Jonathan: error output I get is the complete usage help. There is no
specific error seen.

I added some debug logging to the httpd startup code, and it looks like
Microsoft Failover Cluster server is passing invalid arguments:

When started from Microsoft Failover Cluster:

[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 0 of 8 (8):: C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric Manager\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 1 of 8 (8):: -d
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 2 of 8 (8):: C:/Program Files
(x86)/NetApp/DataFabric Manager/DFM
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 3 of 8 (8):: -f
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 4 of 8 (8):: C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric Manager\\DFM\\conf\\httpd.conf
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 5 of 8 (8):: Files
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 6 of 8 (8)::
(x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric
[Wed May 06 19:28:09 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 7 of 8 (8)::
Manager\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe -k runservice

The last three are causing the issue. These three are automatically taken as
startup parameter when apache service as added as Generic Service to
failover cluster (screenshot attached).

When started from Service Control Manager (on the same system):

[Wed May 06 19:29:24 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 0 of 5 (5):: C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric Manager\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe
[Wed May 06 19:29:24 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 1 of 5 (5):: -d
[Wed May 06 19:29:24 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 2 of 5 (5):: C:/Program Files
(x86)/NetApp/DataFabric Manager/DFM
[Wed May 06 19:29:24 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 3 of 5 (5):: -f
[Wed May 06 19:29:24 2009] [warn] INPUT ARGS 4 of 5 (5):: C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric Manager\\DFM\\conf\\httpd.conf

By ignoring the error for the additional parameters, I was able to start
httpd through Failover Cluster.

However, I am looking for one clarification:

Service installed in service control manager with "Path to executable" as:

"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NetApp\\DataFabric Manager\\DFM\\bin\\httpd.exe"
-k runservice

I am not able to understand why the "-k runservice" argument is not showing
up when started through service control manager. Just want to be sure that i
haven't made a mistake in logging, and that this is the expected behavior.

Thanks for your inputs,

Raj.

That's not what ProxyPassReverse does. Your first ProxyPass is a reverse p=

Hi all

I'm using apache connected to 2 tomcat in mod_jk (ajp).

the apache config is :

timeout set to 120 seconds

keepalive set to 3 seconds

=20

and the reply timeout in jk worker sets to 1 minute (60000 millisecond).

Apache seems to be allways so busy and all threads are working even if the =
each tomcat is responding around 1 second by request.

Is someone have recommandations to make apache resoponding immediatelly?

Is it normal for the backslashrs in the path to be doubled up like that?
Also why is the -k parameter outside the string delimiters?

Yes Jonathan, Its normal in some cases. But i dont know whether we will get
double slashes in "path to executable" of a service. I am not getting it in
my machine for apache!. And -k runservice outside of quotes is also normal,
whatever inside of double quotes is called and whatever is after that is
passed as arguments to it.

Re: httpd service not starting on Windows 2008 (64bit) through Microsoft Failover Cluster

In addition to Jonathan's remarks, when looking at the detail of these
log messages (the ones mentioning the arguments along with an argument
number), I have the feeling that this illustrates once again the
fundamental idiocy and error-proneness of paths with embedded spaces.

It looks very much like the command-line is being parsed by splitting on
space chars. Probably again a case where initial quoting is stripped at
step 1, and confuses subsequent steps no end.

To the OP : what would happen if you installed Apache in, say, C:\Apache ?
