Accidentally installed httpd - now webserver down

[dperren]

Oh dear. I've just made a massive mistake.

Whilst playing about with yum on my Centos 4.4 server, I accidentlly hit 'y', and managed to install:

Now, apache won't restart:

Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:

Presumably because I've confused directadmin with the new version. How can I revert this, ideally without loosing any mysql, dns, mail, or web data (though I do have backups)?

Thanks: any help would be massively appriciated.

Also you might want to see if there is any .rpmsave these may be your old config files.

yum erase package you might have to run custombuild again.

Okay, I've done

yum erase httpd

, and then

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build all

Fingers firmly crossed...

This seems to have fixed things, aside from that this now appears when starting httpd:

[warn] module perl_module is already loaded, skipping

Presumably the command to load the module has been duplicated somewhere - any ideas where?

in httpd.conf

 

[dperren]

<IfDefine HAVE_PERL>
LoadModule perl_module        modules/libperl.so
</IfDefine>

LoadModule perl_module        /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so

I can see those two: which ought I to comment out?

Thanks, and cheers for the help so far!

That depends on which one was loaded by RPM and which by customapache.

My guess would be the one in modules is probably the one loaded by RPM.

Personally, I would have removed all the packages installed by YUM and the dependencies it also installed. Then I would have run yum again to install only what I wanted.

Did you check these forums for the exclude line that should be in your yum.conf file?

This should have been installed by DirectAdmin, but it may not have been, because if it was, then httpd should not have been installed by yum.

I commented out the first, and everything seems okay so for.

Embaressingly, I actually manually removed this. Now I know why it was there!

Everything seems to be back to normal now, thanks for the help everyone

Now, fixing the problem that actually caused all this: how can I install and enable the php-ldap module?

Thanks again,

If I were asking I'd open up a new thread in the PHP/MySQL subforum, and ask there.

Will do - thanks
