Since upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.2, I recive the following error when attempting to start apache2:
Failed to start apache :
As a temporary fix, I commented out the line
LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock
and replaced it with
Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default
and added the folder /run/lock/apache2/ssl_mutex
However, I ran updates and the problem reoccurred. Any sugestions?
Howdy,
It looks like you performed the correct fix for that.
However, Apache/PHP shouldn't change your Apache config file once the upgrade is complete.
Is the error you're receiving now referring to that same line, or is it possible it's another part of Apache causing the issue?
