    Default httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.....no file/directory?

    Rebooted the server and noticed apache was still down, restarted httpd in WHM and got httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

    I ran this:

    root@server [~]# /usr/sbin/httpd configtest
    -bash: /usr/sbin/httpd: No such file or directory

    How is it suddenly gone?

    try:

    service httpd stop

    service httpd start

    Do this from the command line and right down any errors you get. Post them back here if you don't know how to fix them yourself.

    Most likely a problem with the httpd.conf.

    I don't think that httpd.conf is missing. He was trying to run a configtest for httpd but the command he is using is not in the proper format for CPanel systems.

    If he wants to run a configtest he should type:

    service httpd configtest

    at the command line.

    If he wants to see what happens when httpd tries loading he should type:

    service httpd stop

    then

    service httpd start

    Httpd will either start back up, or an error message will be displayed.
