[Solved] Apache2 fails to start just at boot

[coppolino97]

Hi all,
I have a strange issue with Debian10 and Apache2.
On this linux machine I have installed Apache2 with MariaDB.

Apache2 works fine if I manually start it when Debian10 is running, but not start automatically at boot (I have just configure it using systemctl enable apache2).

I get this error when Apache2 try to start at boot:

Code: Select all

systemd[1]: Starting The Apache HTTP Server...
apachectl[524]: [Mon Jan 13 12:51:08.552517 2020] [alias:warn] [pid 547] AH00671: The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/serve-cgi-bin.conf at li
systemd[1]: apache2.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating.
systemd[1]: apache2.service: Control process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM
systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.

Have someone any ideas to fix it?
Thanks so much!

You could try posting the content of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/serve-cgi-bin.conf as that appears to be where the problem is.

Hi,
I have found the following solution at the moment:

Edit apache.service

Code: Select all

nano /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service

Add the following configuration at the end of [Service] section of apache2.service file

Code: Select all

TimeoutStartSec=infinity

Regards!
