Hi everyone,

I was making changes today to httpd.conf and went to reboot Apache from WHM, but when I tried that it said:
solitaire named[1442]: lame server resolving 'web1.httpd.net' (in 'httpd.NET'?): 212.72.100.99#53

Any ideas how to fix this problem? :)

Thanks.

Hi,

please post what the error_log of your apache is saying.

:homer:

Hi,

Last line follows:
[Wed Mar 19 11:38:08 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
Nothing beyond that. :)

Thanks!

Try to restart Apache from comand line. In order to check the configuration file issue the comand "apachectl configtest"

What did you change in httpd.conf as that is more than likely the cause.

Did you put your backup over the top again to see if that solved the problem?

Hi everyone,

Basically here what's happened - we accidentally overwrote the /etc directory, specifically passwd and shadow got nuked. So we had to recover a backup of those files from passwd- and shadow-.

Turns out that httpd.conf included configuration for two users that were not part of /etc/passwd because the latter was a bit outdated. Once we rebuilt httpd.conf everything started working again. :)

I appreciate your help!
