I'm new to Apache2, and I'm trying to get Apache2 running on my local Linux (linux mint 17). When I try to: sudo apache2, it gives me following error:

[Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.785526 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.785602 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_PID_FILE} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.785618 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_RUN_USER} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.785627 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.785644 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.787550 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221:tid 140466817042304] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.787686 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221:tid 140466817042304] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} is not defined [Mon Jul 20 16:15:30.787703 2015] [core:warn] [pid 14221:tid 140466817042304] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} is not defined AH00526: Syntax error on line 74 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Invalid Mutex directory in argument file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}

Then I searched some similar problem online and tried: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, it gave me:

  • Restarting web server apache2 AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

Again, I tried to find solution online which is adding: ServerName localhost at the end of the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Now the sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart command works but the sudo apache2 still gives same error.

Could anybody help me please?

Via the following thread, try these commands that require the usage of "service": 

sudo service apache2 status
sudo service apache2 start
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service apache2 reload

try: sudo service apache2 {command} where instead of the {}'s you enter one of the following options:

  • start
  • restart
  • stop
  • status
