Service command not working after cpanel upgrade...

[elitewebninja]

Is anyone else having this problem?

service httpd restart

root@***** [~]# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found

This happens on all of the service commands:
service httpd
service exim
service proftpd
service named
service mysql

WHM 9.2.0 cPanel 9.3.0-C4
RedHat Enterprise 3 - WHM X v3.1.0

Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks,
Scott

/sbin/service

Really OLD topic that I need help with...

Here is my problem:

root@server [/sbin]# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found

BUT! if I do:

root@server [/sbin]# ./service httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd restarted

Whats going on with THAT?!

You're probably using su to go from a non-priv user to root and not doing it correctly. You need to remember to use:

su -

The dash sets up the environment correctly.

Thank you.

Sorry for digging up and old thread, but I too get "command not found" when executing "httpd configtest".

Does anyone have a clue?

When it says "bash: service: command not found" it is telling you that the command "service" is not a command it can find. It has nothing to do with what service you are trying to start/restart/etc. or whatever you are trying to accomplish with service.

So as said before by chirpy. Check to see if the binary is there. If it isn't then make sure, if you are using su to switch users to the root user, that you use the - to set the environment correctly.
