Apache fails to restart with added modules

    Here's the problem:

    You add a module to Apache.

    Then, later, Apache is restarted and fails because the added module doesn't get handled properly and Apache fails to start due to the reference to the no longer present Apache module.

    Apparently, this is also a problem when Cpanel or PHP are updated.

    What I want to know is:

    How do we setup both Apache and Cpanel so that it is easier to keep track of modules added to Cpanel, PHP, Apache, as well as other configuration options so that the modules and settings are retained, loaded into the system and do not cause Apache restarts to fail?

    For example:

    I installed Web Dav. Then later, Apache was restarted. The Web Dav modules weren't loaded and Apache failed to start.

    no matter what is the module that you add [ exceptions are always there] the apache will will throw these off during the next recompilation.

    many a times some unwanted entries are left..[mainly the left overs of a previous modules] and hence cause the apache config errors and finally a crippled apache.

    I'm not sure I am following you on this one.

    For example, I manually install mod_security on every server, and I add the LoadModule and AddModule lines to the httpd.conf and regardless of recompiling Apache, restarting it or whatever, the modules always relaod and those lines are not overwritten in the httpd.conf.

    Are we talking about two different things?

    Go on, have a guess
    I've never had a problem with the cPanel apache build process messing around with inline modules, including the likes of mod_security and mod_dosevasive and I don't use the ones installed through WHM. However, if you're talking about modules added at compile time, then of course you will lose those unless you modify the easyapache build process.

    I experienced the problem of apache failing and not restarting....

    Code:
    Attempting to restart httpd  	
Waiting for httpd to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

httpd status 	

root      9442  1.0  2.7 15464 14212 ?       S    21:02   0:00 /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr ./reshttpd



httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.
    Acually i uninstalled Tomcat...which was having problems...
    I tried installing tomcat again but didn't help :(

    Also meanwhile i updated fantastico... which gave an error:

    Code:
    Fantastico is not installed at the default location /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico. 
Either move the Fantastico directory from it's current location to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico 
and then load the Fantastico admin panel in order for the config files to be auto-reset 
OR enableioncube loaders in WHM -> Tweak settings.
    Please help me...
