[Bug 888775] Re: race condition at boot: apache2 and postfix started before networking is ready

[Steve Langasek]

This is fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 and above with the introduction of a new
'static-network-up' upstart event.  This change will not be backported
to Ubuntu 10.04.

It is possible to customize /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf for your
particular server requirements, so that sysvinit scripts will not be
started until your network interface has been configured.

** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  race condition at boot: apache2 and postfix started before networking
  is ready

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When booting, apache2 and postfix are started before the network is
  ready, and they therefore fail to start. Postfix error log states
  "fatal: bind 2001:1af8:2100:b070:4::1 port 25: Cannot assign requested
  address".

  When after boot these services are started manually, they work fine,
  indicating the problem is not with apache2 and postfix, but with the
  time ubuntu chooses to start them.

  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
  Release:        10.04
