[Timka]

First of all Im a total noob in this so if you do decide to help me please be very specific.

So all the http adress on my server are down I can still log on thru FTP but when I type in the adree in a browser I get this.

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

and here is the server status

also when I try and restart the http server I get an error

Waiting for httpd to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

httpd status

httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

SSH to the server and run this command, this will help in troubleshooting the problem you have:
/sbin/service httpd configtest

When you run the command:

# /sbin/service httpd configtest

Do you get any similar lines being displayed?

Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/username/public_html/folder] does not exist

If so, you need to remove these redundant entries and then restart httpd.

No, you don't have/need to reboot the server. Rebooting the server Should be done in two cases, right after the kernel is being re-compiled/upgraded, or the server crash and won't respond to any thing.

You can seek help from your Data Center, or you can seek professional help.
