Httpd Clean Up 1.0

HttpdCleanUp 1.0

http://www.systemabuse.com/scripts/httpdcleanup.txt

Script removes excessive blank lines from the httpd.conf file.

UPDATE: Script now also removes all redundant NameVirtualHost. It then places the NameVirtualHosts to just before the first VirtualHost. This really cleans up the file and puts an end to the VirtualHost errors when restarting apache.

Script makes a copy of file before cleaning up.

Use at your own risk! You may want to make your own backup first. I have tested on several servers and it works great. Reduces file size and load seems lower.

Looking for ideas of what else it can clean up in the httpd.conf file.

Thanks!

That is a good idea...

Okay HttpdCleanUp 2.0 now available

Script now also removes all redundant NameVirtualHost. It then places the NameVirtualHosts to just before the first VirtualHost. This really cleans up the file and puts an end to the VirtualHost errors when restarting apache. This was not an easy task.

Okay HttpdCleanUp 3.0 now available

Script now has option of removing all comment lines. This makes for a very clean file.

I ran this script on two dual xeons with over 300 sites. The servers are over two years old so httpd.conf was pretty fragmented. These servers have not ran this good in over a year. I was happy to see the load under 1%. Now they do not go over 1%. The average that is. iowait is also way down...

Please do you own backup first!

Ran Version 3 Here Is What I Got

Code:

HttpdCleanUp 3.0


Backing up httpd.conf.......

.....
Processing httpd.conf.......

.....sed: invalid option -- 2
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

  -n, --quiet, --silent
                 suppress automatic printing of pattern space
  -e script, --expression=script
                 add the script to the commands to be executed
  -f script-file, --file=script-file
                 add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed
  -i[suffix], --in-place[=suffix]
                 edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
  -l N, --line-length=N
                 specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command
  -r, --regexp-extended
                 use extended regular expressions in the script.
  -s, --separate
                 consider files as separate rather than as a single continuous
                 long stream.
  -u, --unbuffered
                 load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush
                 the output buffers more often
      --help     display this help and exit
  -V, --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.

No cleanup needed at this time...

Restarting Apache just because I touched it.......

httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.2.101 for ServerName
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

All done... You should make sure all is well.......

Backup file is /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.Sep29

beehave · Sep 29, 2006

3.1 also tells you how many lines were removed.

beehave · Sep 29, 2006

jefferyw18, I have ran it on four servers now and do not get the sed error. What os is the server?

You also need to restore the file and restart apache.

Okay 3.2 should fix that for you. Could you please upgrade and try again?

Thanks!

That looks like you don't have tcsh on your server. On the top line, try reemoving the "t' so it reads "#!/bin/csh -f".

beehave · Sep 30, 2006

Or try...

which tcsh
which csh

kernow · Sep 30, 2006

Hi,
Removing the "t" didn't work and "which" shows:

Code:

[email protected] [~]# which tcsh
/bin/tcsh
[email protected] [~]# which csh
/bin/csh
[email protected] [~]#

Code:

./apache_cleanup
./apache_cleanup: line 11: onintr: command not found
