easyapache disable httpd for sometime

[SpiritAu]

Hi,

Is cPanel aware that when rebuilding apache + PHP using /scripts/easyapache the backup it does of apache, takes Apache and all websites offline until the compile / build is complete?

Is this on purpose or unintended?

Cheers,

That only happens when you try to restart apache manually during the process. Or thats the only time I have noticed it.

Ok cool this is what happened with us.

Any ideas why cPanel has set it up to do this?

Hmm, that is unusual. EA3 typically just takes Apache offline for a second (at most... maybe 5 seconds) for the entire process, even on servers hosting many accounts. If Apache is down for minutes at a time, that is something you may want to have our technical analysts look into: http://tickets.cPanel.net/submit

Thats is very funny. I never see thats Apache was working when EasyApache script make compile.

Old funy bug of EasyApache (Or not bug?).

When EasyApache cann't compile some config of Apache (Like GD, ImageMagic and more etc. together), i found some smile situation :)
If EasyApache cann't make GD (as sample). You can install Apache thats you need with some module (as sample with GD) from /usr/ports, and after u make EasyApache's profile to setup Apache (version identical) with GD and others thats u need. And now, when EasyApache make alert thats it was some error on building stage, he starting to make rollback to working configuration. But when he made rollback, u have working Apache.
