[Bug 545817] Re: samba and apache do not start at boot but can be started manually

[Steve Langasek]

This problem is specific to older, no-longer-supported releases of
Ubuntu.  Current releases of Ubuntu use upstart jobs, not init scripts,
for Samba; so this problem would definitely not occur there.

Title:
  samba and apache do not start at boot but can be started manually

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Everything was fine for more than a year with Ubuntu 8.10.

  After trying to add a new script at boot using:
  "update-rc.d script_name defaults 60"

  Samba and apache failed to start automatically at boot.
  At first I was surprised to see that /etc/init.d/samba did not exist.

  I completely removed the samba package (sudo apt-get purge samba)
  Then I re-installed it. The starting script was in /etc/init.d after this.

  However, the samba and apache still fail to start automatically at
  boot, while they start manually without a problem.

  What I tried to fix this:
  - checked the logs, but there was nothing to indicate what the problem was.
  - upgraded to 9.04, then to 9.10, but to no avail
  - tried running update-rc.d samba, and update-rc.d apache2
  - added (sleep 30 && /etc/init.d/samba restart)& in /etc/rc.local (/etc/rc.local works - I tested it)

  I will attach the log.nmbd, log.smbd, and the apache error.log
