Hello how can I get my http online? My server crashed and I just got it back by doing a reboot like

shutdown -r now

it rebooted but it only appears it started ssh only? When I visit my website nothing works just shows a page saying cannot be displayed so I typed in

httpd restart

wait till it finished, try again same message page cannot be displayed so what should I do?

It would help to know which distro & which version of
Apache you're running ...

os fedora core 4 whats the command to know the apcahe i know its in 4 somin somin somin..

rpm -qa | grep http

Thank you! It still didn't work though... I typed in the command


root@kluah [~]# rpm -qa | grep http


and then I waited, and visited my website and it didn't work.. Should I contact my provider and ask them to see whats going on becasue ever since the server crashed it hasent been working..

rpm -qa | grep http

will just tell you what (if any) apache is loaded. Whether its 1.3.x or 2.x.

If apache crashed, open a shell and run the following to see if it's still running.

service httpd status

If it's off. run service httpd start. If it's already running, try service httpd restart.

root@kluah [~]# service httpd status

Not Found

The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
_________________________________________________________________


Apache/1.3.34 Server at kluah*********** Port 80
root@kluah [~]#

I did the httpd start and it told me


root@kluah [~]# service httpd start
/etc/init.d/httpd start: httpd (pid 1726) already running

So then I did this..

service httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd restarted

Got this, and then I did that status thing and it showed the same message as above.

Just try
apachectl status
from a command-line...

Hi thanks! But what do you mean from a command line? I just logged into root and typed

apachectl status

Said command not found

Tink, when he did "sevice httpd status", that gives the same output as "apachectl status" would.

That was the command line...

Hmmm ... works here: apachctl status is being found, and I
get output, too.

Baghdad,
have a look at your httpd.conf, check for the
section server-status (is it commented out?) and
also check whether the
LoadModule status_module libexec/apache/mod_status.so
is present and not commented out.

Where do I find my httpd.config at? And is the "server_modul lib..ect" in the middle? Sorry if Im fustrating you all.. Im new!! and Im having serious trouble..

The httpd.conf can usually be found in /etc/httpd/ or /etc/apache/. And the LoadModule ... you will find in the httpd.conf file.

tito is perfectly correct ... a more generic (and empowering)
answer would be
locate httpd\.conf
or
find / -name httpd.conf


Cheers,
Tink

Since you're using Fedora you could even use "slocate httpd.conf"

Also, when researching a problem it's usually nice to know if the logs have anything to contribute to the troubleshooting information. Try checking under /var/log for the logs.

This is probably already resolved by now but just FYI.
