Apache Update from WHM causes apache to fail

[hmm]

Hi,
I am trying to setup a new server, I just tried to update apache through Apache Update option in WHM but it just fails.

So I tried to start apache using SSH and I got error saying:

Invalid command 'Alias', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

The error was in the 2nd line where it was using this command:

Alias /bandwidth/ /usr/local/bandmin/htdocs/

So I commented that line out and started the apache, it started well but PHP did not work. (Showed download option when PHP files accessed)

After that, I ran /scripts/easyapache with option 6 selected with PHP suEXEC Support, it installed Apache, PHP properly without any issues. But I wanted PHP with other modules (I could not find any option to select Curl, Curl SSL etc.. modules in command line update)

It installed PHP with following modules:

bcmath
calendar
ftp
magic quotes
mysqli
discard path
pear
sockets
track vars
zlib

but I need the PHP with following modules:

Bc Math
Calendar Support
Curl
Curl SSL Support
Dom XSLT
Exif
Flash
FTP
GD
GetText
Imap Module
Mb String
Mcrypt
Mhash
Magic Quotes
MM Session Module
Mysql Module
SNMP
Openssl Support
Discard Path
Pear
Postgresql
Pspell Module
SafeMode
Sockets
Track Vars
Freetype Support
Versioning
WDDX
XML RPC
Zip
Zlib

In short, modules which can be installed from WHM Apache Update option (leaving experimental and not recommended modules apart)

Can anyne suggest me the best way to fix the problem? and get apache / php installed with my required modules.

Thanks
Deep

You can select the modules from easyapache, you have to expand the php group from within the setup screen and it presents you the options to select them

[hmm]

damn, it worked...strange that how come it did not work using WHM...

Thanks for the pointer...

You need to downgrade your cpanel version
I had that same problem

Encountering the same problem here. Has this been reported to cPanel through bugzilla yet? If so, can someone post the direct link to the report so that we may update it as necessary?

*edit* Fixed with the latest EDGE build

I can confirm on two servers myself, It actually happened yesterday but I figured it was just a fluke. I fixed it by mocing httpd.conf to httpd.conf.bak and rebuilding apache, you must not have a httpd.conf for this to work for some reason.

That worked ok on the server yesterday without issues but today I am getting this error after doing the same thing:

Syntax error on line 4297 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/etc/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

I don't think enough people noticed yet because you don't know until you update apache but this is a big bug, I had it happen on a server running stable and our private server running edge so it is not cpanel version specific it seems.

Just to follow up the error was due to my running with safe mode off for certain sites, I do this by entering the following into the virtual host entry.

<Directory /home/username/public_html>
#php_admin_flag safe_mode 0
</Directory>

Once I uncommented this apache loaded fine. I also got the same error today that hmm was getting until I did the apache rebuild with the httpd.conf gone so it created a new one and then copied my backup over it once it was done rebuilding.

I am trying to rebuild HTTPD using and am getting error on line 711 Addicon requires at least two arguments.
