Failed to get D-Bus connection - httpd service in Docker container - apache

I am creating a Dockerfile for PostgreSQL with CentOS7 as the base image. I am trying to start httpd service with the following command in the container,
service httpd start
and i get the following error:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
The log file directory /var/log/httpd is also empty. I guess this is the problem with Docker CentOS7 image. Any help appreciated.

I have run into this a well.
It might not be the best way, but you can find a copy of the /etc/init.d/httpd file from another computer. copy that into the container in /etc/init.d
then run
chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
then you will be able to use either
/etc/init.d/httpd start or service httpd start

Why SSH is not working in kubernetes pods/container?

We have an application which uses SSH to copy artifact from one node to other. While creating the Docker image (Linux Centos 8 based), I have installed the Openssh server and client, when I run the image from Docker command and exec into it, I am successfully able to run the SSH command and I also see the port 22 enabled and listening ( $ lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN).
But if I start a POD/Container using the same image in the Kubernetes cluster, I do not see port 22 enabled and listening inside the container. Even if I try to start the sshd from inside the k8s container then it gives me below error:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start sshd.service Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted.
Is there any way to start the K8s container with SSH enabled?
There are three things to consider:
Like David said in his comment:
I'd redesign your system to use a communication system that's easier
to set up, like with HTTP calls between pods.
If you put a service in front of your deployment, it is not going to relay any SSH connections. So you have to point to the pods directly, which might be pretty inconvenient.
In case you have missed that: you need to declare port 22 in your deployment template.
Please let me know if that helped.

How to make changes to httpd.conf of apache running inside DOCKER container and restart apache

I am new to docker. In our docker environment - Apache has been installed and it is up and running.
Now I need to get into the container, modify the httpd.conf, save it and then I need to restart the apache.
Can you guys please let me know, what needs to be done.
I am pretty much confused about -
'exec' and 'attach' commands.
No need to attach or exec (which is really a debug feature anyway)
You can use docker cp to copy a local version of your httpd.conf to the container. (That way, you can modify the file from the comfort of your local environment)
docker cp httpd.conf <yourcontainer_name>:/path/to/httpd.conf
Once that is done, you can send an USR1 signal to ask for a graceful restart (see docker kill syntax):
docker kill --signal="USR1" <yourcontainer_name>
Replace <yourcontainer_name> by the container id or name which is running Apache.
That will only work if the main process launched by your container is
CMD ["apachectl", "-DFOREGROUND"]
See more at "Docker: How to restart a service running in Docker Container"
To update Apache configs you need to:
Replace Apache configs.
If you have config folder mapped from outside of container you should update configs outside of container.
If your apache configs are stored inside of container, you will need to run something like this:
docker cp httpd.conf YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME:/path/to/httpd.conf
Do Graceful Apache restart:
sudo docker exec -it YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME apachectl graceful
Enter a container by opening a bash shell:
docker exec -it containerName bash
I guess you better just reload apache config and not reboot apache.
But I wouldn't go this route and just modify Dockerfile and rebuild and rerun the image.

$ service apache2 restart [fail]

I have installed Apache on my Ubuntu Server.
For a special reason I have to enable mod_rewrite on it.
So I have done this.
And in every Tutorial on the internet the last command is to restart apache.
But when I do this the console prints [fail].
Can anyone help me here?
$ service apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [fail]
I had a similar problem, and for me it was about the logged in user not having privileges so instead of
service apache2 restart
I had to do
sudo service apache2 restart
It's telling you some other service is already on port 80, perhaps it's apache
try Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
followed by Code:
sudo killall apache2
then make sure no services are running on port 80 Code:
sudo netstat -l|grep www
then (re)start apache Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Using the systemd features ( starting from Ubuntu 15) , you can restart apache service as follow :
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
Check the status:
sudo systemctl status apache2.service
There are various reason for this one .
could be the privilege problem if you have privilege problem then
please use sudo for the same .
could be the apache already running in your system then please check the
status of the service by running command service apache2 status if they
said that [FAIL] apache2 is not running ... failed! it mean it is not running
you can start by the command service apache2 start or sudo service
apache2 start
if you having not above problem please look at the PID file of
apache2 by following command cat /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid
which will give you the process ID of the apache it means you
system accidentally shutdown without deleting the PID file so
delete by following command rm - rf/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid or sudo rm -rf/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid and start again the server by
following command service apache2 start or sudo service
apache2 start
I face this issue when I was adding new web site to my web server which is hosted in Digital Ocean Cloud service. So what happened was, when I using sudo commands to restart or reload apache2 server its restring with following error messages.
For me everything worked well despite these two error messages.
Error 1 - Unable to resolve host 'YOUR HOST NAME' .
Error 2 - sum_functio_error() //I don't remember this function name I'll update this later.
So the fix was very simple.
First open your hotsts file.
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Output File
127.0.1.1 hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost
sudo nano /etc/hostname
Output File
hostnamexxx
Try below command to restart.
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
OR
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
OR
$ sudo service apache2 restart
To stop Apache 2 web server, enter:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
OR
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
OR
$ sudo service apache2 stop
To start Apache 2 web server, enter:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
OR
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
OR
$ sudo service apache2 start

ec2 LAMP instance issue

I have a micro instance on AWS that shows that it is running fine on Amazons dashboard
However when i log into the instance with SSH and try to start or stop apache
sudo service httpd stop
sudo service httpd start
I get [FAILED]
sudo apachectl start
doesnt return anything
sudo apachectl restart gives me httpd not running, trying to start
What am i missing? it seems to be doing this out of the blue
is there any command line i can test to see where the issue is coming from?
Have you changed anything in the configuration file?
/etc/init.d/httpd configtest
Is there something else listening on port 80?
fuser -n tcp 80

fabric appears to start apache2 but doesn't

I'm using fabric to remotely start a micro aws server, install git and a git repository, adjust apache config and then restart the server.
If at any point, from the fabfile I issue either
sudo('service apache2 restart') or run('sudo service apache2 restart') or a stop and then a start, the command apparently runs, I get the response indicating apache has started, for example
[ec2-184-73-1-113.compute-1.amazonaws.com] sudo: service apache2 start
[ec2-184-73-1-113.compute-1.amazonaws.com] out: * Starting web server apache2
[ec2-184-73-1-113.compute-1.amazonaws.com] out: ...done.
[ec2-184-73-1-113.compute-1.amazonaws.com] out:
However, if I try to connect, the connection is refused and if I ssh into the server and run
sudo service apache2 status it says that "Apache is NOT running"
Whilst sshed in, if run
sudo service apache start, the server is started and I can connect. Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone have any tips as to where I could look, in log files etc to work out what has happened. There is nothing in apache2/error.log, syslog or auth.log.
It's not that big a deal, I can work round it. I just don't like such silent failures.
Which version of fabric are you running?
Have you tried to change the pty argument (try to change shell too, but it should not influence things)?
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.0.1/api/core/operations.html#fabric.operations.run
You can set the pty argument like this:
sudo('service apache2 restart', pty=False)
Try this:
sudo('service apache2 restart',pty=False)
This worked for me after running into the same problem. I'm not sure why this happens.
This is an instance of this issue and there is an entry in the FAQ that has the pty answer. Unfortunately on CentOS 6 doesn't support pty-less sudo commands and I didn't like the nohup solution since it killed output.
The final entry in the issue mentions using sudo('set -m; service servicename start'). This turns on Job Control and therefore background processes are put in their own process group. As a result they are not terminated when the command ends.
When connecting to your remotes on behalf of a user granted enough privileges (such as root), you can manage system services as shown below:
from fabtools import service
service.restart('apache2')
https://fabtools.readthedocs.org/en/0.13.0/api/service.html
P.S. Its requires the installation of fabtools
pip install fabtools
Couple of more ways to fix the problem.
You could run the fab target with --no-pty option
fab --no-pty <task>
Inside fabfile, set the global environment variable always_use_pty to False, before your target code executes
env.always_use_pty = False
using pty=False still didn't solve it for me. The solution that ended up working for me is doing a double-nohup, like so:
run.sh
#! /usr/bin/env bash
nohup java -jar myapp.jar 2>&1 &
fabfile.py
...
sudo("nohup ./run.sh &> nohup.out", user=env.user, warn_only=True)
...
