[techtalk] Apache SIGTERM

[s h]

Hi all,

I recently replaced the hard drive on my intranet webserver.  The old
one had Redhat 7.0 installed, running apache-1.3.12-25.  My intranet
site has a mysql database with a php frontend.  The packages I used were
mod_php-3.0.12-1, mod_php-mysql-3.0.12-1, mysql-server-3.23.22.6, and
mysql-2.32.22-6.  When I installed the new hard drive, I installed
Redhat 7.1, with apache-1.3.19-5.  I installed the same packages for php
and mysql as I had before, and copied over my old httpd.conf file, along
with the entire docroot, with cp -Rpd to retain permissions.  I thought
I had all my bases covered... but once I had all my packages installed,
httpd will not start.  /var/log/messages only repeats what I already
knew (httpd startup failed).  /var/log/httpd/error_log shows only this:

[Wed May 23 08:32:25 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) 
(Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.0.4pl1
mod_perl/1.24_01 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Wed May 23 08:32:25 2001] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/sbin/suexec)
[Wed May 23 09:54:00 2001] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

Subsequent attempts to restart httpd only repeat the "caught SIGTERM,
shutting down" message, with no other details.

Has anyone ever run across a similar situation?  And are there any other
logs I can check that could shed any more light on what's going on?

TIA...

Sally
