[Linux-cluster] service stuck in "starting" state

[Ian Hayes]

Well it looks like that you're missing a SSL Certificate, so Apache isn't
starting. It also looks like the server is trying to stop the service after
an unsuccessful startup and since it isn't started, the init script returns
an error. I had something similar with Squid a while back.
