Environment: RedHat Linux (RHEL) 6.5
DB: MySql 5.1.71
Web Server: Apache httpd

Issue:
History: I have run this script many times, even last week and everything was working perfectly. But when I ran the script on Oct 3rd Friday, I could not get Phabrictor up and had to skip all the steps in the script and go directly to Apache httpd.
Script: http://www.phabricator.com/rsrc/install/update_phabricator.sh

+ ROOT=/app
+ cd /app/libphutil
+ git pull
Already up-to-date.
+ cd /app/arcanist

+ cd /app/phabricator

+ /app/phabricator/bin/phd stop
There are no running Phabricator daemons.
+ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd stop
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
+ /app/phabricator/bin/storage upgrade
Before running storage upgrades, you should take down the Phabricator webinterface and stop any running Phabricator daemons (you can disable this warning with --force).

Are you ready to continue? [y/N] :y

My first thought was the database connection, but I can rule that out, as I am able to bring up Phabricator an .

We have been using Phabricator for over 6 months now, and we LOVE it....
