Topic: HELP! i think i killed my server

[MasthaX]

Well, i think i killed my server. I was trying to make htaccess work but when i wanted to expand some templates i got an error concerning a error in phpsysinfo. Ok fine, so i did:

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-phpsysinfo

It showed no errors and so. So i wanted to check if it worked and suddenly my server isnt reacheable anymore(by http). SSH and SAMBA are still working so i think i messed up my apache.

how can i solve this?
p.s. if someone needs logs or any i will post them, i dont know what logs i should post right now.

What do you get in your /var/log/httpd/admin_error or error logs ?

[MasthaX]

nothing special to mee. those are just webmail requests i guess

And what does...

sv status /service/httpd-e-smith

Show ?

[byte]

On another note did you notice that yum was going to remove any other packages when you ran...

yum remove smeserver-phpsysinfo

??

[MasthaX]

i checked yum and it said it was ready to remove one package then got a confirm (Y or N) so i did, after that my server was down

[root@s1 ~]# sv status /service/httpd-e-smith
down: /service/httpd-e-smith: 1s, want up

this is what the status command said.

i tried to restart the httpd server and even rebooted my whole server but that didnt work.

Hmm.

[root@s1 ~]# sv status /service/httpd-e-smith
down: /service/httpd-e-smith: 1s, want up

this is what the status command said.

How did you try to start the httpd-e-smith ? What did it say when you tried to restart ? I'm in two minds if we should start a bug report....

[MasthaX]

i did:

/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

[byte]

/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

For SME Server that is incorrect, please try...

sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith

That should start the service...

[MasthaX]

[root@s1 ~]# sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith
ok: run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 17726) 0s, normally down


well it still doesnt work, im quite a noob so i dont know what to do.

Is there a way to just reinstall the apache server? if not, i have full backups so.

[byte]

[root@s1 ~]# sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith
ok: run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 17726) 0s, normally down

OK, thats restarted fine, use the same checking commands i.e

sv status /service/httpd-admin


Show results first ?

Then type...

sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith

[MasthaX]

[root@s1 ~]# sv status /service/httpd-admin
run: /service/httpd-admin: (pid 3972) 15310s, normally down; run: log: (pid 2955) 15324s
[root@s1 ~]# sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith
ok: run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 18779) 0s, normally down
[root@s1 ~]#


still its down, but the server is running fine i guess.

[root@s1 ~]# sv status /service/httpd-admin
run: /service/httpd-admin: (pid 3972) 15310s, normally down; run: log: (pid 2955) 15324s
[root@s1 ~]# sv restart /service/httpd-e-smith
ok: run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 18779) 0s, normally down
[root@s1 ~]#


still its down, but the server is running fine i guess.

I actually meant to put...

sv restart /service/httpd-admin

But the httpd-admin service was already up, ok from here would you mind taking all the notes and open a bug ticket telling all what we have done here already and attaching your logs to the bug....Thanks.

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-phpsysinfo


MasthaX, do open a bug, I've just tested on my test box downloading that package and removing via yum and nothing affects the server-manager/apache, so my guess is you have changed/removed something else too.

[MasthaX]

Well i did some other stuff but cant remember exactly what. All i did is some soluton on this forum to activate HTACCESS then there was a problem with PHPsysinfo, i removed it and now we're here.

well i dont think i need to fill in a bug report. i think i just messed it all up myself. a reinstall will do i guess.
