Topic: httpd.conf error after upgrade.

[HidYn]

Hi guys,

Our office was running 7.5.1 but had issues with USB drives on the server so I followed these instructions months ago: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,47277.msg237468.html#msg237468

I've just upgraded the system to 8.0 from CD and all went smooth but I get an error message when booting up that scrolls on the screen constantly after it tries to start the Hal Daemon

The internet works on client computers and I can access the server from putty and login as root no problem

The error stems from httpd.conf so I ran httpd -t and got

Code: [Select]

httpd: Syntax error on line 88 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_imap.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_imap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any help on how to fix would be really appreciated because at the moment I can't access the server through http on a browser anymore.

Sorry is this post it not very clear I'm pretty new to SME and servers in general.

Thanks in advance

Chris

1) Did you remove all contribs before upgrade (important) ?
2) If not,  anyway, which contrib were installed on the server ?

Examining three of my Sme  8 (all of them upgraded from 7.6) no trace of mod_imap.so so I can suspect it was added by a contrib in 7.xx installation.

Anyway, as first attempt, try to put a comment before the load command in line 88 and restart your server.

Further verification -> take a look at:
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
this might help to find the template fragment containing the mod_imap.so load command and to identify the cause of the problem.

Somebody here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,48877.msg243443.html#msg243443 had the same problem but after a search in bugzilla I suppose he did not raise a bug.
