httpd service shuts down

[Dleeuwen]

Hi all,

I am rather new here but I have a problem wich I cannot find the answer to. Every time when a account is added to the server the httpd service shuts down. To solve this I have to edit the httpd.conf and comment out the last added line:

#Include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/user239/httpd.conf

and then restart the httpd service before everything works again. Is there a limit of accounts for DA or something?

I already raised the maxclients value from 150 to 250 by the lines #prefork MPM and #worker MPM and then restarted the httpd service, but this isn't working either. Or do I have to restart the whole server?

But I must say I haven't tried the second solution cause I am afraid to kill the whole server. But if you are sure that that is the solution i'll have a go at it.

Anyone...?

Each time you add an account, DA adds an include to a custom httpd.conf file to the central httpd.conf file apache uses and probably restarts apache to make the changes effective. Since you have to comment out the line DA added before apache starts working again, it seems that that the httpd.conf file DA creates for the new user is faulty. What does httpd say when you try to start it manually after creating a new user, without commenting out the last line in httpd.conf?
