Hi everybody.

I'm really having some trouble with an unstable server.
Last week we had some mysql problems, now we have some urgent and large problems with Apache, php and so on.

The problem started to day with trying to compile php, gd and freetype.

That didn't work at all, (it screamed something about curl, perl and so on.)

and after restarting apache some problems came visible.

I'm up for about a few hours now, (18,5h now) and still not having any solution.

Now i do have an other and more urgent problem:

Apache is running now, nut cannot be started, stopped or restarted (and so also reloaded) from the control panel.

It loads the page, and says: "The process is stopped".

From that moment on, it cannot be started from the control panel.
Now i'm so far that i can start it from the command prompt, with httpd killall, followd by http start.

( again, /etc/local/etc/rc.d/httpd start will not work)

So my first question, how to get and solve this problem????

Second question, i did start this day for about 19 hours ago, with the intention of getting this server to work with freetype.
i'd stil like this server to work with freetype, because there are severral customers on this server wo'd like to use this.

I do believe there is an solution for bot of the problems, but now i'd really need some help or advice how to get this..

(and most important to get apache stable, so thet i can get some sleep.)

(i'm also discussing this with da support, but wit no succes so far, but still a big hand for da support, for reacting as soon as they did. ;) )
 
If your server is broken now, I don't know how anyone can tell you where to start looking. You might want to contact DA support and see if they can help you.

When you attempted to compile PHP, GD and freetype, did you do it using the built-in DA customapache system?

Many of us have used that without problems.

I don't know, i assume.

i let an more experienced unix user take a look at it.

Guess DA support won't take a look at it.

It's now 9:32 local standard time here, and still not an solution for my problem.
Have to do a reboot very hour, to keep the server running and to be honest i don't know how long i'm gonna take this.

With plesk on two servers i do not have any problems at all... NEVER,

So why is DA such an hard to understand control panel.
I mean my sun AND daughter are easier to raise. ;)

But for sure i really need an hard an good solution within the next 12 hours, because otherwise i'm going to unplug this one.....

i'm now already so far, that i do have apache working, with the newest version of PHP.

but... i don't dare to try an restart from the control panel, because the last three times i did that.. Apache was damaged so far that it couldn't be started anymore, and several solutions togeheter, in unlogical ways made it working again.

so it is really strange...
