Apache wont start

[NissimC]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with apache.
Yesterday, I've started apache with no problems,
Today, when I start apache it's show me up an error that says:
apache cant run as root blah blah..

So i tried to move the apache user, and my system said:
This account is not avaliable blah blah..

So I had to delete the account, and re-create it, and that's what i did.
I moved to the user I created, and i didnt have premission to run apache.
So I tried to do "chmod apache /etc/httpd/", and still it wont work.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks, and sorry about my bad english,
Nissim Cohen.

Have you tried rebuilding apache?

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