What uid is your apache processing running?
It should not be running as root, BTW, this is major security concern. And, if it is not runnning as root, which it should not be, it can't write to the (your) httpd.pid (-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 15 09:21) httpd.pid file because that file (your file you posted) is only writable by root  Looks like you have a number of problems, and I have not discussed your DNS, FQDN issue. The first thing I advise is to determine the non-root userid and groupid you are going to run apache under. Change all the files in your web directory (recursively) to that non-root userid and group. Then configure Apache to run as your non-root user (above). Regarding your FQDN error, that is something you can easily fix, if you know what your FQDN is for your server, but first you must fix your basic filesystem and process / file ownership issues with Apache. |

yes its running as root
i haven't assigned the server a FQDN Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 15 09:21 httpd.pid you are right its security concern to run apache as root the server is local server but if we skip FQDN problem and security issue is there any fix to solve the problem |

Just delete the old pid file, it would be unusual (but not unheard of) for Apache not to be started as root so that it can bind to port 80. However the apache configuration file should also specify the runtime user to use once the process has started.

Good job, glad it is working now. Those pesky httpd.pid files can cause problems.
Regarding apache process ownership, you might be OK already. Did you check the config file? Normally, there is a line in the httpd.conf (apache.conf or apache2.conf) file where you specify the process owner, something like: Code:
Port 80 User apache Group apache Can you post yours? |

Quote:
Any user can run Apache ( provided the pid file and logs can be written by the user ), but you need extra privileges to run it on the standard ports. If you set the port number > 1024 any normal user could start it. I have in the past allowed certain users to control the Apache server on certain servers without giving them root access by creating an IPFilter to forward from port 80 to an unprivileged port that apache was listening on. To an external user there is no difference but there is no need to grant any extra permissions to the user running the server. |
