Apache Won't Start

[grayloon]

Anyone know how to diagnose this issue?

[[email protected] logs]# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl status

Looking up localhost
Making HTTP connection to localhost
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/whm-server-status

Here's the error_log output when I try to restart apache via cPanel:

Hi there,

I had this problem a few days ago - httpd - kept on dropping off as the load was peaking to around 5 - I simply suspended the necessary websites and then started httpd via SSH

You could try:

stop httpd

start httpd

PM me if you require any more information.

This seemed to fix it:

ipcs -s | grep nobody | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}'
