I am using CPanel. And everytime I try to bring Apache back online, it gives me this message:

Looking up localhost Making HTTP connection to localhost Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

When I tried to do it in shell it gives me this:

[Wed Dec 19 15:01:01 2001] [warn] NameVirtualHost 66.96.220.95:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Wed Dec 19 15:01:01 2001] [warn] NameVirtualHost 66.96.220.95:80 has no VirtualHosts
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd started

But Apache is still down, meaning it won't serve up the webpages. Could anyone shed any light for me?

Couple of things. Cpanel is notorious for not restarting services when I do a reboot. Try the following first:

/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/ipaliases start

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart (ignore those virtual host errors)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

See what happens.

Thanks Mike! Got it back up with some help from Burst.net tech support too. Wheew!!
