Apache2 won't start on Sierra

Reported by: voodoodrul@… Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.4
Keywords: sierra Cc: Schamschula (Marius Schamschula), pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)
Port: apache2

Description

Starting from a clean Sierra install, and installing apache2, sudo port load apache2 runs and httpd attempts to start. The process stays running for a few seconds and then dies. Nothing is wrong with the config file and this behavior occurs on multiple machines. Worked fine in El Capitan, not so much in Sierra. No obvious errors logged. Manually starting httpd by calling the process directly and leaving it running in the terminal works fine.

Correction: manually starting httpd from the terminal (sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start) does *not* work. Same behavior. Showing startup errors, I only see modules loading, a "hang" for about 3 seconds, and then crash to prompt:

Disabling mod_unique_id allows it to start. 

[Sat Oct 15 13:22:53 2016] [alert] (EAI 8)nodename nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "Jesses-MacBook-Pro.local"
Configuration Failed

Although my ServerName was set to localhost, I went ahead and added the FQDN for my hostname to /etc/hosts. With my FQDN in /etc/hosts, it starts even with mod_unique_id enabled.

I encountered the same problem. Commenting out mod_unique_id in httpd.conf fixed it for me.

mod_unique_id is commented out by default under apache2 2.4.x.
