SOLVED Apache segfaults after CloudLinux EA4 update

[cPanelMichael]

Hello,

CloudLinux published an update to their EasyApache 4 repository on 05-14-2018:

EasyApache 4 updated

Upon applying this update, attempts to start Apache may fail with an error message like this:

restartsrv_httpd[12345]: /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 119: 12345 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $OPTIONS -k $ARGV
httpd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=139
Failed to start Apache web server managed by cPanel EasyApache.
Unit httpd.service entered failed state.
httpd.service failed.

CloudLinux has since addressed the issue and released updated packages to solve the issue. Here is the command you can use to manually update your system with the updated packages:

yum clean all && yum update ea-apache24*

Thank you.

What a big pain this was for the last several hours. How irresponsible of Cloudlinux to release untested software into the public domain crashing servers worldwide.

If it wasn't for this post, we would still be trying to manually restore our servers now with several man hours already wasted doing so. Thank you.
