check the apache error_log for any errors, check the httpd.conf for any errors
service httpd configtest at the shell prompt

can't find where httpd.conf is .. where does cpanel keeps it ?
well this is when i try to update apache ..
and /usr/local/apache doesn't exist ..
should i install a port of apache then recompile .. ? im using freebsd 4.9

[bamasbest]

httpd.conf should be located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

[bensie]

I am having the EXACT same problem on FreeBSD 4.9. Anyone know any fixes?!? Please help!

I've just installed WHM and have same problem.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd: line 89: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

I've tried easyapache script but it can't compile apache.

Please be more specific... What errors you get during easy apache.
Also what does the error log says. Also does the configtest gives any errors so that others will be able to help you.
The apache may fail due to many reasons and without having specific error message or having a check others may not be able to help you more.

[Murtaza_t]

Yes.. Aby is correct,, you need to check you logs at /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

open two simultaneous shells on the problem server and give these commands :
Shell 1 :

]# tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

Shell 2

]# /etc/init.d/httpd start

I ran into the same problem when using EasyApache, and found out you must use at least v4.4.x of PHP. Use any version of 4.3 and it would fail.

Could be related to the fact of also using MySQL v4.1.x.

Hello,

The problem is that "wget" and "fetch" are either not installed or a outside of the usuall locations:

12859 stat64("/usr/bin/wget", 0x811bc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
12859 stat64("/usr/local/bin/wget", 0x811bc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
12859 stat64("/usr/bin/fetch", 0x811bc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
12859 stat64("/usr/local/bin/fetch", 0x811bc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
12859 stat64("/bin/fetch", 0x811bc40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
12859 exit_group(0) = ?

If you have wget here -> /root/bin/wget or somewhere else, you may want to symlink it to /usr/bin/wget while you run the apache update scripts so it can work normally.

This worked for us and it might work for you!
