I have a cpanel server and I tried to use the apache update feature and now I have some problems. I can't seem to start httpd(apache) If you can fix this I will paypal you 50$ I need it fixed asap though.
I've been working on this server for about 10 hours now and right when I give up and make this thread it decides to work. I no longer need the help thanks though rexx rep added.
When apache is not restarting it's generally a good idea to try doing service httpd configtest Also doing service httpd restart These will give you a whole lot more information then WHM's restart. There is also of course checking the apache logs. I hope these tips help in the future not make it a 10 hour task
Its mostly got to do with the VirtualHost configs. They are a really irritating shit. But mine is a lot more clean and stable. I usually test them out on a sandbox VPS test server.
I was in the middle of doing an apache update via WHM when my computer crashed. I booted it back up and saw that my server wasn't connecting. I tried to rebuild apache with no luck though. I wasn't able to su to root using ssh either so I couldn't access the config file either. After a few reboots for what ever reason it let me login as root and it was a VirtualHost problem.
If such problem happens again, you can su to root and do this /scripts/easyapache Works for me always.
