 @wirestyle22 said in httpd dead but pid file exists: I can't stop the service even if I try to rename the old pid file What about disabling the httpd service and then restart the server?

This is going to sound stupid, but this is rhel 5. I see that I can disable service on startup but I actually don't see the option to disable the service. I also need to put a reboot request in to reboot a production server.

 This should disable httpd on each runlevel 
 chkconfig --level 2345 httpd off
- 
 And according to the system manager manual, chkconfig --del httpdwill remove the service from chkconfig management, and any symbolic links in /etc/rc[0-6].d which pertain to it are removed.

 @wirestyle22 said in httpd dead but pid file exists: I cannot stop the service Did you try killing the pid, ensuring the pid file is removed and then restarting?

 Do this... systemctl restart httpd ; tail -f /var/log/messagesAnd collect about a screen's worth. Let's see if anything is reported immediately following the start up.
