I suggest you to update apache from shell. Login to server as root and execute the following script :-
]# /scripts/easyapache
Select 5th option and wait till the execution completes.

You may get the error, "httpd failed. Contact sysadmin." In this case just do the following :-
service httpd stop
service httpd start

If apache won't start, execute the command :-
service httpd configtest
and paste the output.

this is the error which i've faced

Syntax error on line 149 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
module access_module is built-in and can't be loaded

I haven't had faced such an issue before but just give it a try.

Login to server and try the following :-
cd /usr/local/apache/conf/
mv httpd.conf httpd.conf.bak
and then update apache with the steps given in the previous post.

If you face any major problems with this solution, do the following and you will be back to your current state and will have to search for another solution :-
cd /usr/local/apache/conf/
rm -f httpd.conf
mv httpd.conf.bak httpd.conf

IMP :- Do remember to take the backup of your current httpd.conf file.

I tried this fix, and, YAY, apache restarted... but now all my websites have the default "There is no website configured at this address" message.

How do I get my sites back?


EDIT: Oh, and, another thing... in WHM, there are no more accounts set up. At all.

What were the errors you have received before trying the above steps ? Have you created the backup of the httpd.conf file before making the changes ?

Check the VirtualHost entry for the domains in httpd.conf file. Also what exactly you mean by "in WHM, there are no more accounts set up. At all." ?
