httpd configtest shows syntax ok

I did /scripts/easyapache #8 three times already

[jdarow]

what does it say when you start apache?

service httpd start

[Secret Agent]

root@server2 [/scripts]# service httpd start
/etc/init.d/httpd start: httpd started
root@server2 [/scripts]# service httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd started


/etc/httpd/etc/httpd.conf is empty also

I ran /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf and it did not fix it


I recompiled again and it wiped out my httpd.conf file AGAIN.

This is about the 7th time I've recompiled this stupid cpanel system to no avail.


During /scripts/easyapache (#8) compile I got this:

Can someone please help me out? Apache has been down for about 5 hours, cpanel has not responded to my ticket from yesterday regarding boxtrapper on the same server

Please give me a lift

[Secret Agent]

Recompiling apache is wiping out my httpd.conf

/scripts/rebuildhttpd.conf
does not restore the virtual hosts either

Configure rollback is screwed up.

From my past experience you have to remove/rename httpd.conf before you use /scripts/rebuildhttpd.conf this should then create a new file.

Not had a problem that needed the use of /scripts/rebuildhttpd.conf for a couple of years but at the time thats what I had to do to rebuild it.

[simplestar]

Maybe try going into 'Config Rollback', copy one of the good configurations and pasting it directly into httpd.conf.
