A friend just upgraded her 2011 iMac to El Capitan (she actually went from Lion to Yosemite, and then a few days later when ElCap came out, she went to that). I've been helping her try to set things up to start doing some web development. But Apache flat out will not run.
From a fresh boot, if you try sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start, it gives an error about Operation already in process or somesuch (pointing to the plist version of starting it up). No amount of starting or restarting it helps. Do a ps aux | grep httpd shows it's not running.
If I run that command to do the unload on the plist and start it, it still doesn't start. Rerun it with Load and I get the same error about Operation already in process.
I ran a tail -f on /var/logs/apache2/error_log and there's nothing useful at all in there. It looks like Apache has yet to fire up and do anything that would even write to the log.
I've been running Apache fine on my system for years. I seem to recall having a problem like this back around the time of Mavericks or so, but I can't say for sure. But on mine it just plain works.
I'd prefer to not install MAMP or one of the other Apache installations; I've always been able to use the one included in OSX, so I'd like to get this working.
Any suggestions on other things I can try? Thanks!
