installed cpanel, whm but

[AlaskanWolf]

in EDIT SETUP theres nothing there in terms of server name, server ip, primary name server

just a few fields, has anyone ever seen this problem?

also, httpd seems not wanting to start either

installed layer1..buildapache...fp install...then layer 2 stuff, no major errors

 

[Mat]

I ran into the same problem lastnight also....


Latest and greatest software I could get, its not installing Apache I gather, so I have to go though that tomorrow.....


I kept getting errors saying the /etc/wwwacct.conf wasn\'t setup..

So I did that by hand.. And made a inital account, but not all the software was installed on the cpanel setup...

 

[AlaskanWolf]

yup, exact problem i have, i suggest looking in your EDIT SETUP and making sure you have all 18\'ish options

I have a whopping 6 of them...stuff missing is Bind Version....Host Name...Primary NameServer...Default Cpanel Ver...and on and on

 

[AlaskanWolf]

anyone know a fix or will I have to wait another day

 

[shaun]

maybe try running this?

/usr/local/cpanel/install/rsync

not sure if that will solve the problem but you can try.

 

[AlaskanWolf]

after getting alot of failed to connect to ftp.cpanel.net - Connection refused

it looks like it ran once without the error, but same problem exists still, along with apache totally failing

rerun a layer1 update,

should fix it, confirm your connection to cpanel.net fromt he server first, arn\'t you at VO who had a few router problems the other day?

I\'ve done numerous installs from London with no problems so its not a matter of being outside of cpanel.net noc.

 

[Mat]

Hmm.. Just reran layer1 install..... Same problems... I\'m gonna try recompiling RH again and see if it works off of a clean install.....

 

[bdraco]

/scripts/mkwwwacctconf

 

[Mat]

I ran that 2 nights ago, and didn\'t even touch the file....... I just copied the entires from another cpanel box I have to that and altered the information.....

Actually we are moving NOC\'s and this spec. server isnt at VO, its at HE

Re-running layer1 install to see if that will work

 

[AlaskanWolf]

simple fix!

copied /etc/wwwacct.conf from one of my other servers to this, edited and saved, restarted cpanel and works

now all i have left to do is fix apache

[AlaskanWolf]

now to tackle the apache, in my error_log i see


in error_log i get

[Thu Dec 27 20:12:22 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6 DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_throttle/3.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations

[Mat]

It usually takes some work on my part to get mod_throttle to work, so maybe try commenting it out, and then see if it works....

 

[AlaskanWolf]

actually now that i notice it, that was the logs from yesterday, for whatever reason apache is not logging any errors (now) and i did in fact remove throttle yesterday

 

[Mat]

Are you using
/etc/init.d/httpd start

To start apache? Another thing I noticed when trying to install Cpanel was, it wasn\'t installing apache, so the sysmlink in init.d didn\'t work.....

 

[AlaskanWolf]

Mat

Reran layer1 install and apache was recomplied, now its working

when restarting i get

root@localhost [/home/admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Warning: User directive in <VirtualHost> requires SUEXEC wrapper.
Warning: Group directive in <VirtualHost> requires SUEXEC wrapper.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd started

which i have no clue what it means, but at least apache is running again

Try running:
/scripts/initsuexec

The warning is saying that you have a User and Group setting in each vhost entry... This is needed for suExec to work correctly... running the above script should add the suexec wrapper.....


After running it should be:
/usr/local/apache/bin/suexec

I dont know about you but if a freshly installed server gives me problems right after a install i wipe it and start a fresh install of the OS and Control Panel again.

On my first Cpanel install i must have installed cpanel 6 times before i felt comfrible with the install.

I wasnt nessicarily that i was installing the OS and cpanel wrong. It\'s just that i saw error\'s that where normal in cpanel and i though somthing went wrong, in another install i ran the install script from the /root dir and was getting a mysql error for passwords (because the build of cpanel i first got put the .my.cnf in the / dir rather than the /root likes it\'s suppose to be. Anyway, Maybe a fresh reinstall if their are no clients on it?
