Apache service failed to start, semaphore not released

1. Apache failure

Because Apache has been hot deployed with reload before, some mutex semaphores may not be released, resulting in unable to apply. Sometimes, Apache will fail to start/load, and some errors will be reported as follows — & gt;

2. Solutions

Then execute the following statement to release the synchronization semaphore

ipcs | grep apache | awk  '{print $2}'  >  signal.txt
for  i  in  `cat  signal.txt` ;  do  { ipcrm -s $i; } ;  done;

3. Restart Apache again
