SOS!!!Apache Failed, what do i do??

[arnab]

I am getting Apache failed in my WHM, how do I rectify it. When ever I trying to access and site on my server it is giving me connection failed.
if my apache has failed how can i access the WHM, isn\'t apache handling my requests??

a) /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

b) /var/log/messages

c) WHmanager runs off a completely different process than the core apache server CPanel installs.

If this was working and now all of a sudden you are getting these messages, then you may have a memory problem. Have you tried rebooting your server? Sometimes that takes care of those issues.

If a reboot helps, I would look at the server's memory as a starting point

Thanks! I'll try that

After numerous differnet attempts at trying to fix this problem, I've had no success. Apache still fails every 3 hours or so. Had anyone else had this experience?

I wanted you all to know that I fiex it and I wanted to post the solution.

When this server was set up, the clicent accidently put in a master name server which turned it into a slave.

I went into named.conf and di the following.

I changed this:

zone &mantalkz.com& {
type slave;
masters {
ns1.mantalkz.com;
};
file &/var/named/mantalkz.com.db&;
};

To this:

zone &mantalkz.com& {
type master;
file &/var/named/mantalkz.com.db&;
};

Named started and it is now working fine. Hope this helps someone else one day.

Thanks for the info,

How did you decided to edit named.conf?

[totalufo]

because when trying to restart bind, it told me &named not running&
