Task Name - Linux Process Troubleshooting

I have been assigned a task, where it has been informed that apache is not working on one of the app server and asked to find it and fix it. Also asked to make sure that apache should be running on all the app servers.

I have checked and fixed the issue on one of the app server and verified that apache is running on all the 3 app servers, still my task is marked as failed, why is it so?

Its never been asked to enable the service or check any url, its just asked to start the service on all 3 app servers.

Please see below output.

Since question clearly states that

Identify the faulty app host and fix the issue. Make sure Apache service is up and running on all app hosts. Also do not try to change the Apache port on any host.

and you changed Apache port from 5004 to 5005 so task failed for you.
