Apache won't start

[JHC]

I get this message at my main WHM page: Unable to obtain apache version information. Your apache server at xx.xx.xx.xxx may be down, or unreachable.

And when I run

/scripts/easyapache - I get this:

httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin

And when I test apache (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd configtest) I am told 'SyntaxOK'

I have contacted my sysadmin ... but I have a feeling they might tell me on my own because I have been bothering them too much lately...

Any thoughts?

whats the error you are getting in the logs ?

tail -f /etc/httpd/logs/error_logs

and

/var/log/messages

will require the errors....

Yop can try the following :

killall -e -9 httpd

and restart httpd , sometimes the httpd process hungs.

Thanks for your reply...

I did what you suggested and I get this error:
root@vps [~]# tail -f /etc/httpd/logs/error_logs
tail: cannot open `/etc/httpd/logs/error_logs' for reading: No such file or directory
tail: no files remaining
root@vps [~]# /var/log/messages-bash
-bash: /var/log/messages: Permission denied

I will try your second suggestion... will let you know.

Fixed.

It is working now.
No errors.
I didn't fix it thought my Admin did and didn't tell me what they did... but now I have other problems with cPanel (I will start a new thread for those).

Thanks for your help.
