Hi guys, my apache doesn't start in my eve-ng. I've done a bare metal installation, I followed all necessary steps, funnily, everything is working normal, but I have to start manually the apache process. Has someone got this problem?

Yes, I have this exact same issue. I too installed from Bare Metal.
Not much of a Linux person, so thanks for posting how to restart apache, that enables me to log in once I restart it.

Use below command to start automatically after reboot also.

systemctl enable apache2

R!

Hi,

I tried if "enable" but even that, every time that I start my eve I need to start the apace2 manually.

Is there any solution?

Looks like v81 released and have fix for this issue as per the change log, worth upgrading to v81.

make sure you proceed with steps as mentioned in the document.

Hi, Thanks for this feedback. After upgrade everything is going well.
