Hello big problem hoping for some ideas or help

I was installing ssl certs on 3 of our servers tonight and 1 of them failed to restart httpd after the ssl install.
I have rebooted tried a couple things and nothing apache will not come back up.

Our admin is on his way but will take at least 45 minutes.


Anyone have any ideas or have you seen this problem before ?

I've seen this before. I can't remember exactly how I fixed it. What does the apache error log say?

yes, check the logs, and also do a

$ apachectl configtest

to make sure it isn't just some errant error in your syntax.

Yah your config is screwed up :) go in there and look at the SSL section and comment the recent additions out and it will at least get you back online

Let me guess... you were using CPanel's setup SSL?

CPanel does a crappy job of appending/editing/etc the httpd.conf file. Believe it or not I find Ensim to do a much better job of this, as they do it in a much smarter way by including external files with vhosts info.

As batcavenet said your httpd.conf file is hosed just comment the additions, or find out whats wrong with the virtual host's for the ssl.

What is the error you get when running /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest.
