Apache Failed after updated

Did the same to me.

best thing to do is.

1) log into to your server through ssh

2) might not be required but log in as su

3) go to /script or /scripts can't remeber whether it's plural or not

4) type "./easyapache and follow the prompts

5) to make sure you get it up and running take option 1 for the default configuration.

6) this should restart apache. Of course as with all *nix systems no matter how stable the best thing to do after you get it back up and running the way you want is to do a graceful shut down just to make sure memory is cleared. Many *nix admin don't agree with this and that's up to you to decide.

 

Do exactly as follows and you will need the root login.

Open putty and put your IP address into the address bar and hit enter

This will open a black window type 'root'

Next is will say 'root's password?' you type in the password

type 'cd /scripts'

type './easyapache'

You will see an option to set defaul values select it and run it, this takes about 10 minutes usually and then let us know if it is ifixed

 

It takes a while to become green (about 10 minutes) after a(n) upgrade/install/reboot.

That's realy sucky about WHM, i know

 

use
service chkservd restart
from root's ssh
it refreshes alll the services status page.

 

I have a problem everytime that I upgrae Apache.
The httpd.conf file is being recreated with some entry I haven't checked exactly what, and it fails the start of Apache.
Chances are that you are experiencing a similar problem.
What I've leared to do in the past was:

Make a copy of the httpd.conf before you do the easyapache run.
Then, after the run,. delete the newly created httpd.conf.
Rename back the copy you made to httpd.conf and then restart apache.
It should then work fine.

Good luck.
