Hi Group,
I posted this in a few other forums trying to get an anwser but I'm not getting much response, so I figured I posted it in the wrong forums and need to get it in a more specific one to the problem. I don't mean to cross post.
Here's the information:
I'm a newbi and I tried to update my server which is running CentOS 4.1 to Php5 and Apache 2.2.3 I read and followed the instructions here in this forum with the ./ build commands and I also followed instructions on my hosting company's knowledgebase and another DA thread that essentially installed Php5 and Apache 2.2.3 manually the traditional way. I just followed both procedures and I did the manual way twice because my httpd wasn't showing up anymore.
I did the manual install of Php5 and the manual wget of apache-httpd2.2.3 using make and make install first, then the customapache ./ build methods, then the manual wget of apache-httpd2.2.3 using make and make install twice more because things were not working right.
Needless to say, my httpd is down and has been down since I did this. What is worse is that I cannot log in to my server now using SSH and putty, I get "Server unexpectedly refused connection" and then click ok and putty shows "inactive" and then shuts down.
Any suggestions about what to do at this point? Also if I get my server back up, how can I make sure I get Php5 and apache2.2.3 working right on my DA/CentOS server with the latest version of DA. I had just figured out that I needed to update my DA version before all this happened. I was running 1.23.6 I think. When I try to manually do this from the Admin CP, I got an error about my license not being valid. It expires every month along with my hosting payment billing cycle I think. How can take care of the updating of my license and DA version once my server and everything is back up?
I think the solution is to uninstall everything and clean out all my php and apache installs, then use the da customapache build script method to install everything correctly just once. If anyone can offer me the commands to do this I'd appreciate it. Also if I can get to upgrade to php5.1.6 and apache2.2.3 that would be great.
