apache2 not starting automatically in Ubuntu 14.04












1















I have fresh Ubuntu 14.04 installation with apache2. I have noticed apache2 is not starting at the boot. I have tried to enable it with sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults, but it still doesn't start with the system...



Restarting using services sudo service apache2 start works ok.



I have checked the apache2 log less /var/log/apache2/error.log, but it seems the system doesn't start it at the boot. Any idea how to enable autostart?



HINT: My home folder is encrypted, while some websites DocumentRoot are stored in my ~/Public folder. Thus, apache2 probably cannot start, because some encrypted folders are not mounted at boot. Is there a way of starting apache2 on login, or postponing its launch until my home filesystem is mounted?

          You can postpone apache to start by renaming the symlinks which were created byupdate-rc.d apache2 defaults - "defaults" mean that such symlinks were created for default runlevels set in /etc/init.d/apache2, so in /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, /etc/rc5.d directories..



          In each above directory, you will see something like "S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2*"
          issue command sudo mv S91apache2 S99apache2 in each above directory.



          The biggest is the number, the later the script will be started - however, using S99 is the latest posssible time to start...
