Httpd is not running, when I do chef-client on the centos node

Chef Infra (archive)

I’m unable to run httpd using chef cookbook.

Here’s the error I’m getting;

Sounds like the apache configuration is wrong. Try looking at the apache error.log and see what it says or try starting the service manually as indicated by the error.

There nothing much added into the cookbook, I’m just doing a basic apache installation and running it.

Here’s the code in the recipe;
package “httpd” do
action :install
end

service “httpd” do
action [:enable, :start]
end

Hi,

As the error report suggests, please provide the output of “systemctl status httpd.service” and “journalctl -xe”.
The error does not seem to be chef related, so we need this output to know what is actually going on.
