Sites not displaying

[tswaibel]

For some reason, over the course of a few hours sleep... all sites on one server decided not to display anymore.

Every service is showing green and operational, WHM is accessible, and Cpanels are accessible. However no website on this particular server will display, it's not found.

Any idea what in the course of a few hours would've went bad that no sites are viewable?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried restarting apache from root?

Well this is proving interesting. Attempting to update Cpanel and GD, or anything for that matter and I get an error message containing:

You are getting this error because RHN has detected an abuse of

Could this be the source of why sites aren't displaying?

Do a search for that error. I do remember reading (somewhere) about it as well as a fix for the prob!

I cannot locate this problem anywhere, any info from those with knowledge as to this error would be very helpful.

Thanks!

It gives information regarding the problem and if you are one of the affected customers you'll need to raise a ticket with EV1.

With regards to the sites not displaying problem, I'm not convinced your up2date issue is causing it. How about giving us a domain name to work with?

Many thanks for the offers of assistance. Turns out that update error was not the end factor causing the problem.

Nothing like a DNS Server hiccup to make all sites turn into mass hysteria! Word to the wise:

If all else fails reboot the DNS. If DNS fails, reboot, and reboot again
