    I tried to change a account name on my VPS but since then the apache isn't running.

    I've logined via ssh to my vps and tried to
    service httpd start

    but I'm getting the next error:
    httpd bad group accountname

    I changed the account again back, but no changes

    In your httpd.conf file, what do the "User" and "Group" lines say?

    Hi,

    Try to edit the group name to the same one as indicated in the apache error from /etc/group and see if that helps. For eg:- if the error say miker then in /etc/group find the user and change it to miker.
