Apache2 woes
Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 21:41:57
Something that runs around 6:19am on vps is shutting down apache2, then trying to restart/graceful restart it, but the restart fails because it runs BEFORE apache2 shuts down.
I’m currently attempting to edit /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf (found this after hours of searching):
changed this:
#$nrconf{restart} = ‘i’;
to this:
$nrconf{restart} = ‘a’;
Fingers crossed.
Also, added this block to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
Unattended-Upgrade::Post-Invoke-Success {
"if systemctl list-units --all --type=service | grep -q 'apache2'; then systemctl restart apache2; fi";
};
