Vicibox 11 Apache Failed to start During boot

[rheymzkilove]

Hi guys,
i got this error when starting up the new installed vicibox 11.

1.) i update the the server zypper up
2.) vicibox-express
3.) reboot
4.) got an error
systemctl status apache2.service
× apache2.service - The Apache Webserver
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

5.) for now I just commenting the line 227 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and line 16 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/dynportal-ssl.conf
6.) then apache restart

FYI: Do not use vicibox-express. Honestly. It's valid most of the time, but it's not maintained to the same level as the standard install. The standard install just has more questions to answer, and if you take the time to answer them, you'll know a bit more about your server. You can also capture the entire install Q/A sesstion and results to a text file for "just in case" later. (Did you put your ftp password in correctly, were there any errors tossed that went by really quickly and I didn't notice ... etc).

Remember that nobody knows if you start over two or three times. It's free. And you'll be a lot more comfortable with your system if you've installed it four times. It loses it's magic around there somewhere and just becomes "software".

theres actually an issue with both and its vicibox 9, 10 and 11, after apache updates are run, it removes mod_deflate, vicirecord and viciarchive conf files

The config option in the rpm doesn't respond the way the documentation says. I added some code to the %pre section of the package that should create a .old copy of the current config files before modifying anything. I.E. /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/0000-default.conf gets copied to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/0000-default.conf.old. This should create backups going forward in case the package removes the old file.

For ViciBox12 the config files are statically copied from /usr/share/vicibox/ so that there's no interaction between package updates and static config files.

I'm working on releasing ViciBox 11.0.2 to roll up all these changes for Asterisk 16. ViciBox 12 will have Asterisk18 with PHP8.

Did you dig through and find the solution in the installer? Vicidial Issue Tracker may not work for the installer, but then again it doesn't hurt.

Moved to Vicibox board, since it's an install issue. Details. LOL

[carpenox]

I did not I dont have any vicibox installs I suppose I could VM it and try

Hi

i will try default vicibox11 installer with no update (zypper up) and I will check if these files if available mod_deflate, vicirecord and viciarchive conf files

[rheymzkilove]

Hi

the missing file on folder confd on updated installing is audiostore, mod_deflate, viciarchive and vicirecord (that's why my current install with updated [zypper up] mp3 URL is not working but file is available on directory mp3 folder I think because of these missing files)) and maybe the reason also why apache failed to start during boot after fresh install (with the update)
and for vhostd folder missing 0000-default and 0000-default-ssl.

and lastly i downloaded these missing files also on the same installer that I use then I install it with no update, maybe it will fixed the issue of the updated one, hope it works

@carpnenox

its working the error is fixed for failed apache during boot , by copying the missing files from desame installer (install with no update )

Thanks

[carpenox]

great post back, we need to create a solution for those who do update before copying the files, perhaps I can add them to my github, can you message me on skype with a copy of the files? Ill create a little bash script to fix all the missing files for people on vicibox11
