ubuntu apache2 start, stop, status, restart and reload commands fails
- by Assil
Hi, I am new to Ubuntu and I'm still trying to figure this OS out (for work it's brilliant, better than Windows). Before I wrote this question, I did my research via Google, this website and even in StackOverflow.com.
Whatever error came up, I googled it but with no success on how to solve this. Back to the main point: I tried to install (lamp) apache2 with this guide (in German) and this one(in english).
Then I got stuck at the start command (with which one is able to start the apache2 server), my first try to run the server was a success until i wrote sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload then it showed me an error:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
* Starting web server apache2
Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Invalid command 'oder', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'reload' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
[fail]
I didn't even write the word "oder" so I closed the shell and opened it anew. It showed the same error. After that, I've done some research and found out that my file (index.html (which is in my /var/www folder)), which I access via the browser, when I type in http://localhost should show up and tell that it was a success. So I removed apache2 and installed it again but now the following errors appear:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting web server apache2
Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Invalid command 'oder', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
[fail]
And still, I didn't even write "oder" in the command.
I appreciate every help I can get, further thanks and have a nice day.
