Verify That the Apache Service Is Started or Restarted

If you installed ACE Management Server on a Linux host, verify that the Apache service is started before you
attempt to log in.
For troubleshooting purposes, you might occasionally need to manually restart the Apache service that ACE
Management Server uses.
To verify that the Apache service is started or restarted
Do one of the following:

On Windows hosts:
a Click the Apache icon in the taskbar.
b Select Apache2 in the menu that appears.
c Choose the appropriate command:

To start the service if it is stopped, click Start.
If the service is already started, this command is unavailable.

To restart, click Stop and then click Start.
Ensure that you click Stop and Start rather than Restart.

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 hosts or in the virtual machine that contains the ACE Management
Server appliance:
a Open a terminal window on the host or in the virtual machine.
b As root, enter the following command:
/etc/init.d/apache2 status
If the status is started, you can log in to ACE Management Server. See "Start and Configure ACE
Management Server" on page 26.
