After adding a customlog path to httpd.conf restarting, no virtual sites show up.
I'm sure its not what i did before the restart, but could be something I've done since my last reboot a few weeks ago.
Ftp, email, ssh are all working fine but no sites.
Only logged error ive found so far that might help is after i rebooted I get:
named[1234] zone ns1.blahblah.com/IN : refresh unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master 123.45.67.89#53
I host my own nameservers and looks like that might be the/a problem area. And another problem is, its on a Raq550. They are great to start off with but don't grow on you or with you.
If anyones got any idea whats going on here or can point me in the right direction, please let me know.
Thanks.

Still stuck. Nameservers working fine or my mail would be out. Problem somewhere in apache maybee. Everything is working fine except no sites are showing up using IPAddress or www.freestarthost.com.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yep. nslookup works fine. I'm still searching for clues. As I'm typing this reply an email comes thru telling me the server is ok. And after checking its all up. HMMmmmmmm

Have you checked the web server logs?

top tells me the server was rebooted 2 minutes before i got the 'all is ok'. And at the same time my colo provider comes online. It needed a cold boot I think, but i'll confirm that and check me logs.

Just updating. It was me. Did another restart and same deal - no http. Carefully checked all activity and found a simple typo in the httpd.conf.include that i'd changed last week without doing a restart. Doh!
