Can't start apache2 with error "bus error"

Question

Does anyone know what cause my apache2 couldn't start properly in ubuntu?

I ran /etc/init.d/apache2 start

outputs

* Starting web server apache2 /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: \
        line 132: 29125 Bus error (core dumped)  \
        $HTTPD ${APACHE_ARGUMENTS} -k $ARGV Action 'start' failed. \
        The Apache error log may have more information.

Show the error log. Should be somewhere like /var/log/apache2/error.log — Gerard Roche, Feb 05 '14 at 04:33
hi, i can't see anything on apache2 log, there's empty. Have any idea? — Manellen, Feb 05 '14 at 06:50
but while i'm watching log from syslog and running apache tail -f /var/log/syslog displaying
Feb 5 14:53:29 webdev kernel: [4325865.992350] Read(10): 28 00 00 b2 0d 58 00 00 08 00 Feb 5 14:53:29 webdev kernel: [4325865.992367] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 11668827 Feb 5 14:53:29 webdev kernel: [4325865.993969] ata1: EH complete — Manellen, Feb 05 '14 at 06:54
Maybe try sudo service apache2 start? How did you install Apache? Might have something to do with the install method. — douggro, Feb 05 '14 at 15:44

I was getting (core dumped) when starting httpd because my /var/log partition was full. Removing old/large apache logfiles allowed me to start the service without the specific error.

It answered the question precisely... What do you mean? – AXE Labs Apr 30 '16 at 00:29
You answered it precisely? Did your full /var partition cause OP's Apache web server to fail to run? Or do you have a magic 8-ball that tells you precisely why OP's server isn't starting? (scnr) – David Foerster Apr 30 '16 at 02:08
For what it's worth there is nothing that points to a full file system being the cause of OP's issue. And it's still a leap of thought from your issue to OP's that would have been easy for you to make in your “answer”. While your “answer“ may provide a useful hint to the cause of the problem it's also useless in that it doesn't even try to provide a way to solve the issue.
