Free CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Practice Question

A Linux system administrator has found that a web server service is failing to start automatically at system boot, which necessitates a manual start each time. After booting, systemctl status of the service reports a failed state, yet no errors are recorded in the standard service logs. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

  • The web server service is missing a dependency on network-online.target in the unit file, causing it to start before the network stack is ready.

  • The primary configuration file for the service contains syntax errors that are only checked during automated starts.

  • The server's network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration is incorrect, leading to time-related service start failures.

  • There is an error with the ExecStart command that only manifests during the automated start sequence.
