I'm at the admin level Httpd process is stopped. OK no problem - hit restart

I get the error /sbin/service httpd start 2>&1

I did some reading - and the suggestion is to check log files.


Log files are all BLANK.

I then (foolishly) stopped Exim - and now that will not restart.

Any idea?
 
apachectl -k stop
service httpd status

possible response : httpd dead but subsys locked

apachectl -k graceful

possible response : httpd not running, trying to start

service httpd status

possible response : httpd (pid 18571 18570 18569 18568 18567 18566 18565 18564 18563 18562) is running...

If nothing works, try

reboot

(After a reboot, Your box may not come back for some reason, then contact Your ISP)
 
Logs are blank

I have only access at admin level - not root.

I assume those commands are SSH ?

For many people using Windows OS, including XP and Vista, believe that the best cure for any technical issue is to restart/reboot the system. This is, by far, acceptable or sometimes encouraged practice among Windows users. But NOT with Linux OS. The only two reasons to reboot a server are
1. after upgrading the Kernel
2. The OS becomes ir-responsive, or crashed.

Other the two reasons above, there is no need to reboot a server with Linux OS.

What do you get when running this command?
/sbin/service httpd configtest

If you get Syntax OK, that means that syntax of your conf file is good. To fix this problem, I suggest you seek professional help.
 
Note also that you'll need root access. If you don't have it you'll have to get your provider involved.
