Hello,

the problem began yesterday when I tried to update MySQL from 5.0.x to 5.1 via

./build versions
./build update_versions

At the end of the updating process I was told to execute

./build php n

So I followed the suggestion and this is the result:

[root@xenia custombuild]#service httpd restart
httpd beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN]
httpd starten: Syntax error on line 30 of /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

So my Apache is dead at the moment. :(

This is the output from ./build versions:

Hello,

What are the php settings in your options.conf file?

Try:
Code: 
./build all d
./build rewrite_confs

Hello John,

as I have already told you via e-mail, I have rebuilt my VPS (CentOS 5.3, 64 bit) and reinstalled Directadmin from the scratch.

Therefore I am unfortunately not able to help you anymore, regarding the issue of this topic.

But please keep on investigating, because there will be other people with the same problem.

As Directadmin is a commercial control panel, you should try to make it fool proof, which it is not yet (please see my response to your e-mail e.g.).

Kind regards

Well really, this problem in particular seems out of DA's hands. PHP and Apache aren't built into Directadmin in any way. It's up to you to build them and use the configurations best for your server.
 
Do you have any custom Apache templates in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom ? PHP-CLI (mod_php) is set in your configuration files, however I think you have chosen PHP-CGI in the options.conf file.

So how is anyone supposed to be able to investigate if you have deleted the problem? You were the only one currently having the problem. You rebuilt your VPS. Problem solved.

At least you admit you are a fool. :) Just kidding.

But seriously you were the only one having this problem and if you want somebody to fix what caused the problem then all the evidence needs to remain in place. But you deleted it all so now no one knows what really happened that lead up to the problem. Its just guess work now.
 
Alright so , i was installing Horde mail today, and i ran into the same error as the Original poster, tryingto rebuild now with build phpd and suphp d ... not sure if this is gonna work but ill let you all know

I am also receiving this error and that too after upgrading mysql !!

please guide !
 
Hello,

Try:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build php n
./build rewrite_confs

Had done that already but didn't worked.

I noticed when I did so, its compiling php4.x but I have php5 as default while php4 as CGI .

I then tried ./build php5-cli

And after that it worked.
I hope it will help others in future.
 
Sounds like your php settings in your options.conf are not what you're trying to accomplish. Make sure you have php5_cli=yes set, and all of the other php's set to no.
