I am trying to restart Apache2, but whenever I run the command, this happens:

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Now, when I type "systemctl status apache2.service", it prints out this:

● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache2; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

My error log (What I think it is my Error Log) http://hastebin.com/axalecoves.rb

I'm using a Ubuntu Server, running 16.04.1. If any of you know what I am doing wrong, please do help me. This happens whenever I run the sudo a2enmod php7.0 command. When I do a2dismod php7.0I can start it again just fine... As I said, if anyone knows anything about this, please do help me :)

  • Moved my "answer" to the comments which makes more sense ... That's a first hint Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP. But to be sure pay attention to the line saying The Apache error log may have more information.Could you please show us the content of the apache error log? Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 12:57
  • hastebin.com/iganelojor.rb - I believe that is the log. Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 12:59

As said by Wiki Archlinux:

You need to replace mpm_event_module with mpm_prefork_module.
Open file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and edit like follows:

#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Then restart Apache Service.

  • I don't have any httpd folder. Do you know why? Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:14
  • Try with /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. Otherwise use: a2dismod mpm_event and a2enmod mpm_prefork, service apache2 restart. Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:22
  • Where would I place the LoadModule command though? Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:27
  • Nevermind. What you told me works ;) Thanks man! Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:27
  • You're welcome :) Btw those commands create a symlink in the mods-enabled folder, in such a way enabling the mode chosen. If you resolved the case, accept my answer ;) Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:44
