Re: [monit] monitoring apache on different port

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

according to log message the apache process itself is not running - in this 
case the port test is skipped and monit tries to restart the service, which can 
be seen in the log too. The config looks OK, it seems that the start attempt 
failed.

Can you verify whether the apache service can be stopped/started via monit?:

    monit stop apache
    monit start apache

There could be some environment variable required by the start script, whereas 
monit purges the environment on exec for security reasons (more details: 
http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/FAQ#execution).

Regards,
Martin
