APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Fatal startup errors in the Apache server on z/OS can be lost
    due to a timing window.    This appears to be wherever syslogd
    sends messages.     A limited number of startup related
    messages that are destined for syslog are not properly being
    switched from the console to Errorlog.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM HTTP Server on z/OS that use   *
    *                  "syslog" for the main Error Log.            *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some early startup messages are not     *
    *                      sent to syslog as expected. This        *
    *                      means startup can fail without some     *
    *                      fatal messages ever appearing.          *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    A class of messages omitted any logging context and were lost
    when syslog was configured.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The context of the global server configuration is now
    associated with these messages, allowing them to be sent to
    syslog.
