I've updated my apache today the 31st via easyapache, then downloaded latest from layer1, and reinstalled it over my current cpanel. Now whenever I create a new account it would shut down my apache and my apache will not start, anyone know why?

I'm using Redhat 7.3, and I noticed some errors during the creation of my account.

Here's my account creation log:

Check /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

Looks like you have stuff in your httpd.conf which is not compatible with your new apache binary.

As dandanfirema says - your error_log is your freind here.

That part looks familiar.
Try looking in WHM and running Initial Quota Setup.
Or logging into ssh and running /scripts/fixquotas

Let it run - don't interrupt it. Watch the status bar along the bottom left of your browser and wait til it says done - if you use the WHM option.

From the error message it looks like your filesystems isn't done properly.

Login to shell, go to the partitions mentioned (probably /home) and see if you have files such as aquota.user and quota.user.

Try running /scripts/initquotas and /scripts/fixquotas

If you still do not see the above 2 files after that, your filesystem partitions is not done properly.

Edit /etc/fstab

Check that your /home partitions has this switch

usrquotas

If not add it in, and try running the scripts again. That should fix it.

Great, it's fixed, but now I get a new error, when I create rantage.com it creates fine, but when I try to restart my apache it gives me the error:

/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start
Syntax error on line 1125 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'BytesLog', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd could not be started

I look at the httpd.conf file and it says:


<VirtualHost 69.22.169.75>
ServerAlias www.rantage.com rantage.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@rantage.com
DocumentRoot /home/rantage/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/rantage.com-bytes_log (Line 1125)
User rantage
Group rantage
ServerName www.rantage.com
CustomLog domlogs/rantage.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/rantage/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>


Whenever I create any other domain it's fine though, only rantage.com stuffs my apache.

Here's my error log:

Thank you!!

You probably did not install your Apache modules that you need.

Go the loadmodule section and paste all the modules you are using. Check that you have this:

LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so

If not you didn't install your Apache modules.

Run /scripts/easyapache again.

hm - that looks normal - the httpd.conf part..is that the only error you get?
log in to ssh and type

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd configtest
and see if there are any other errors as well - or if thats the only one that comes up.

Maybe try taking the BytesLog line out temporarily and see if apache comes up without it.

bah -
*bows to sprintserve*

Do what he said first :)

How do I go to my loadmodule section?

I type in "LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so
" and it doesn't work. Like u said, I ran easyapache again, chose the 2nd option, finished installing, typed it again and it still won't work.

I checked under my libexec folder, and mod_log_bytes.so file does exist.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Just scroll down till you see a bunch of loadmodules directives

Do you mean in my WHM or where? I don't see anything? can you please give more specific instructions?

thanks again.

Jackula - the load Modules directives are in your httpd.conf file - if you pico the file and Ctrl+w to search for LoadModule so you're forwarded to that section of the config

Woah, that's a fast reply dude!

Anyway, I can't find LoadModule bytes_log_module in my httpd.conf file. But even after installing apache from easyapache again, I still don't have it...

can you copy and paste a list of the things you do have in the loadmodules section?

There should be a section where you see a whole lot of LoadModule's. When you're there, paste in 'LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so'. Restart apache, and all should go well.

Here's my LoadModule list:

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

I've added 'LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so' without the quotes into it, and it still won't work, and gives off the same single error.

Is there anyway to uninstall cPanel and WHM and apache and then reinstall them all over again?

Hello,
Please also make sure you have "AddModule mod_log_bytes.c" (without quotes) in your httpd.conf

If not then add it just below the last AddModule entry (without quotes), for this to work properly you will also need the "LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so" (without quotes) entry in that httpd.conf file.

Not sure what I am talking about??

1. SSH into your server.
2. Type > pico /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
3. Hit control + W on your keyboard > Type AddModule

Now look through the "AddModule" entries for the "AddModule mod_log_bytes" (without quotes) if its not there add it below the last AddModule entry...

4. Hit Control + X, hit y and press enter.

Restart apache using /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Remember you need both "AddModule mod_log_bytes" and "LoadModule bytes_log_module libexec/mod_log_bytes.so"

Hope that helps if not then shoot me a PM and I will have a look.
