Try to start it via command line and look for errors. Check the apache error log.

 

[gaz0r]

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 160 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf: Permission denied


thats the error any ideas ?

 

[scsi]

chmod 660 /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf
chown root:root /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf
/sbin/service httpd restart

 

[gaz0r]

i just get this

admin@server:/etc/httpd/conf$ chmod 660 /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf
chmod: changing permissions of `/etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf': Operation not permitted

chattr -i /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf

No you have to login as root user your logged in as admin.

 

[smtalk]

Yes, I overlooked that.

 

[spacefish]

chmod 660 /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf
chown root:root /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf
/sbin/service httpd restart

I get:

Stopping httpd: [FAILED]

Can anyone help?
I'm a SSH newb, and I confess to feeling a bit paranoid about being logged in as root.

ps aux | grep httpd

Is httpd running? Try and kill the process and start up httpd again.
