Topic: Lost HTTP Access

[Jim Darrough]

I am running an SME Server version 5 and for some reason can no longer access the server manager via another computer on my network. I could do so until recently, and have made no changes to configuration except to send administrative messages to my local use account.

Mail pickup and delivery still works, and I am not getting anything weird from CRON, so am not sure where to look. When I bring up my dual-boot box in either system, I get "DNS errors".

Anyone got a good idea? I do not want to resort to a reboot.

Thanks!

Try running the following at a console prompt:
service httpd restart

Thanks for your help, but no go. I really don't want to reboot, but I may have to do so. Would it help if I posted the results of ps-aux?

Thanks, Jim

Hi

I got same here. At 3 pm httpd was working ok. At 6 pm it was stopped!

I had tried to restart server but nothing!
Look at this:
root@zeus log]# service httpd status
httpd dead but subsys locked
[root@zeus log]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [ FAILED ]
Starting httpd:                                            [   OK   ]
[root@zeus log]# ps -gaux |grep http

WOW! THAT´S sound like a beatiful problem!

Any tips ?

As I remeber the only thing I do at 3pm was create an ibay. So I tryed to redo it again... deleted that ibay and created another one. What my screen (all in 30 seconds interval!)

Appears that httpd is going up and down in matter of seconds... what can be wrong? I have searched on messages file but there is nothing there (at least I can see!)

Thanks!

Hi,

GREAT NEWS! I discovered something...

I had gone to /etc/httpd and edit httpd.conf file. I saw two lines saying:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80  

So I thought: Why TWO lines... I remarked one of them and restarted http
with httpd start or restart

WOW! It´s working now!
I´ll check who da****d package put that second time of Listen 0.0.0.0:80... or I´ll have this problem again... because shall be in a template!

Any tips about this please write!

Thanks!
