HTTPD failed and won't restart

checked var/logs/messages and this is what I found...

Aug 22 01:11:52 zion proftpd[13620]: zion.flexhost.be - received SIGHUP -- master server rehashing configuration file

What does it mean?

Thanks in advance!

Qubix

/usr/sbin/apachectl: Apache 1.3 configuration directives found
/usr/sbin/apachectl: please read /usr/share/doc/httpd-2.0.40/migration.html

is what I see when i try to restart via ssh :(

Might search these forums for SIGHUP. One that had a similar problem as you is at: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=282665&highlight=SIGHUP

root@zion [~]# service httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start
httpd: bad group name bartou
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd could not be started

mmh, I changed a username from bart to bartou because I was copying accounts from another server for a reseller who decided to resel with us...

but what has this change to do with httpd?

all user accounts are in the httpd.conf file. You might want to check it out. You might want to make a copy and then edit that user. (search for both user names.)

Ok,

What i've done:

added bartou in group (etc/group)

then service httpd restart

restarted

then like you said I went looking for bartou's account in httpd.conf, I found this:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
Userdir disabled
Userdir enabled bart
</IfModule>

shouldn't this be bartou instead of bart?

anyway, thanks for the help so far :)

I would think it should be bartou. You would need to see what the user directory is called, but I would think it should be bartou. Compare the IfModule mod_userdir.c entry to others users in the same file.

Good luck.
