Hi,

I'm trying to use easyapache to rebuild apache to enabled mod_gzip.

I've tried through WHM > Server Software > Update Apache and this doesn't really offer fantasic results. The browser just displays a couple of lines of output and then gives up after a minute or so (sorry, I forgot to copy the output - I'll try again if its needed!)

I then thought of running /scripts/easyapache and seeing what happened.

When it gets round to running buildapache, I get the following output:

Code:
 [/scripts]# ./easyapache

           => `buildapache.sea'

After the last line there is no more output.

I can CTRL-C past this point, which then goes on to the easyapache menu, however I don't want to try changing anything if the script is getting stuck beforehand - simpy speaking as I don't know what is wrong, I don't want to risk anything!

It used to work fine through both WHM and from an SSH prompt, but now it gets stuck at the point I indicated.

I even tried the same with APF turned off incase it was causing some problem somewhere.

Any ideas what's happening? I don't know enough about this to be certain, but my guess is that it's not getting a response from a FC2 server.

What I really need to know is whether it is safe to continue rebuilding apache after CTRL-C-ing past the line at which the script gets stuck?
