    Exclamation all server services went down on cpanel server

    On one of my cpanel servers all services like httpd,exim,bind etc stoped working without reason. From logs it seems somehting with file permissions is not ok.

    apache error_log:

    [Sun Jun 19 18:34:01 2005] [error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex lockfile /usr/local/apache/logs/ssl_mutex.10725
    [Sun Jun 19 18:34:01 2005] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)



    every aplication server logs something like this one. permission denied. Anyone have some sugestions how to repair server heh?

    for example accout creation in whm returns:

    Could not create /home/naox/mail/inbox: Permission denied

    Creating web http://www.naox.vipserv.org.
    Error: The server extensions were unable to access the file "service.lck". Please check the file permissions.
    No such file or directory


    etc etc

    Did some fool chmod -R 000 / or something. Check the permissions on / and all the folders related to exim/apache and so on. (/usr/local/apache /var/run/named/ /etc/ and so on).
