enz.

This problem happens on the same time
What could it be?
You all thinking now these are the crontabjobs but there not!
I don't have the clue what it is can some one explane it to me?

This is the DA service starting and stopping httpd. Normaly this happens when changing the httpd conf through the panel..

Check the logs in /var/log/directadmin and /var/log/httpd for something unusual

Well i get this in the error log al the time:

[Sun Feb 06 05:03:02 2005] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

Don't now if it hase something to do about it

Also i see this now:

Unable to read config file. Check to make sure that /usr/local/directadmin/conf//directadmin.conf.lock doesn't exist

Well what sould i put there



Next is this:

Feb 9 05:01:00 xerionhosting CROND[875]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

If i look over there i see nothing

And every min i see this:

Feb 9 05:02:00 xerionhosting CROND[980]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq)

If i look at that file i dont now what i should do it's not in linux code but something else

Iam verry new in this so i thought i put all there things in here
Maby some one can explane it to me

Manny thanks who explane all this to me!!

Few lines more ?
Isn't there anything else ?
(Where did that sigterm come from ?)
Looking at the next error, is DA/HTTPD installed the way it should ?

Also i see this now:

Unable to read config file. Check to make sure that /usr/local/directadmin/conf//directadmin.conf.lock doesn't exist

Well what sould i put there

Donno this one...

Well, the crontab logs are normal, they report what the crontab (aka magic task program that can execute stuff at certain times) CROND will do.

I am sorry I don't have an instant solution, but that's something I find rather common when being first introduced to a new Linux problem.


I looked at the starting post again, looks a bit like the DA daemon has gone insane or something, restarting HTTPD at such a pace it can't keep up...
But DA is only programmed to take a peek at services status every 1 min, so multiple restarts within a min should be impossible within DA.

Ok, my concluding question would be: Is DA installed right ?

I think that DA does the SIGTERM and tries restarting it. I think the error is in the installation of DA. I guess that this is a new installation and somehow there are some config files missing..

Check your /usr/local/directadmin/conf(ig)

If your on Redhat try: service httpd configtest

Otherwise: apachectl configtest.
