Hello,

Since more than 72 hours, Apache failed every 10 minutes and if i want my domains back, i have to restart the service manualy.

Someone have a solution?

Thanks

Sure, a starting point anyway. Log into shell and run this command:

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -t

It will check your httpd.conf file for errors. If there are any, it will state what it is a what line so you can fix it.

This is the result after doing /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -t

What do you think?

Thanks...

The VirtualHost warning is no biggee, just means the IP address can be deleted from your httpd.conf file -- WHM doesn't always remove an IP when an account is terminated.

The first one though, do you not have a /dev/null listing? Do a: locate null and see what comes back.

warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory
warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database.

Do you think i have to 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database ?

Thanks for helping me.

Something strange is going on here.

/usr/bin/updatedb

Type that in, wait till finished (5 - 20 minutes) then type: locate null

Thats hilarous because evertime i visit top i see all kinds of defunct processes so that means if Apache restarts every 10min i am getting defunct processes 24hrs a day 7 days a week because every 10min includeds some kind of defunct! Whats up with that?

Probably Cpanel Team know it's a BUG, but they dont want help to resolve this problem. They just want take our money but dont care about customers. It's what i think....
