Just contact the sysadmin... ohhh that's *you* isn't it? :D

Is this the expired license thing? I don't know much about WHM, and can't tell what is wrong from your post.

Try to restart apache this way.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

If it gives you an error try running:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest

And it will show you what's wrong with the httpd.conf file. Then you can edit and maybe fix it there.

you can try read the error log.

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error.log

There you can see what error is giving Apache

thank you .. at least you give me new and good hints .. i'll try with your hints

thank you again

Do you solved? if so, what was the problem?

not yet ...

i fixed some simple httpd.conf errors

then

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

still down

and
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl graceful
this pring it to life for a minutes

i tried it again i get 1000s of line like that:

what do you think .......... by the way Interserver send me 1 word " overloaded ".

and nothing more ... server load since 2 months never make more than .5

do you backup your system continously?
as long as I know if you have second HD, interserver will run daily and weekly backup on your drive.
Then, try to restore the old httpd files.

That's just a warning. It means you have no <VirtualHost> definitions for those IPs, yet you have the NameVirtualHost directive defined for it.

I have never used WHM or CPanel, so I don't know how to fix it with those. Those errors shouldn't stop Apache from starting, they are just warnings. There is something else wrong. What does apachectl configtest spit out (other than the NameVirtualHost warnings)?

do you know what process are overloading your server?

try with top and psx aux. That will show you the running process

right now apache is works fine ... i dont know what happend .. but i noticed the server load jump to 50:70 !!!!!!!!! in a second
then down to 2 or 3 in other second

I think user run a bad script ...

the question now ?? how i can find the user make this overload ?

and thank you alll for your great help

"Load average" is how many processes are running at the same time. So it's not possible to overload the system with a single script (well unless the script is forking many times). If you see load average of 50, that means there were 50 active processes running at the same time.

You could try with top
and press C when top is running
it will show you the path of the running process
