VirtualHosts not working?

[mgdoyle]

Hello,

Apache suddenly died on the server. It wouldn't restart because a bunch of modules suddenly couldn't load. Commented those modules out of httpd.conf. The users disappeared from WHM. Got them back. Now the VirtualHosts are not working. All that is showing for all these domains is the Apache test page.

I have double and triple checked the DocumentRoot of these hosted domains and they all point to directories with orginal content, but that content is just not being displayed.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Are the sites virtualhosts in the httpd.conf ?

[mgdoyle]

Yes, that's right. The DocumentRoot in each VirtualHost container is correct and the directories contain content that is not being displayed.

[JamesSmith]

Tried doing /scripts/easyapache again ?

[mgdoyle]

I just tried that, unfortunately it did not work. Any other ideas?

[JamesSmith]

Odd. Mean while drop an e-mail to CPanel tech support.

[mgdoyle]

Very odd. What's more, when I do not specify a page, like in http://domain.com, I get the Apache test page. But when I specify a page, I get a 403 Forbidden error. I checked the permissions on the files in question and they are world-readable.

[marius]

firewall?

check your named.conf and make sure it's ok, sounds like bind maybe messed up.

[marius]

no firewall on it. nothing wrong with named. i checked httpd.conf and all the virtual hosts...dissapeared...!??!

[easyhoster1]

Make sure the host name is correct in httpd.conf and run this as root. May help.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest

[marius]

the configtest was ok because the httpd.conf was brand new with nothing defined in it.

i had to find a backup of the file ...

what on earth could replace my httpd.conf? could this be due to the automatic backup ?

No. The problem is widespread. Many users are complaining for the same problem - httpd.conf corruption. It is a random problem.

The problem with the permissions - please upcp cPanel and then recompile Apache by disabling suEXEC. It works for me.
