httpd failed after updating apache to 4.3.1.0 and cpanel to 9.9.9 R14.

I did:

/scripts/easyapache
/scripts/upcp
/scripts/installzendopt (necessary after upgrading to 4.3.1.0)
/scripts/updatenow

configtest shows "syntax ok" for httpd

restarting apache in whm says:

httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

When updating apache, I had all defaults checkmarked too.

What to do?

Fedora Core 2

Always check your log files and what is apache 4.3.1.0..?? Their latest stable release is 2.0.52..

apachectl stop
apachectl start

That might do the trick instead of a restart, since you upgraded to 4.3.1.0

Please help

Looks like it's having trouble verifying the integrity of what it's downloaded. It may be a problem with whatever's supplying images to easyapache, so I'd suggest looking on their site to see if anyone else is having this problem. I know this isn't much help, but you might want to learn to build Apache, PHP, and MySQL yourself so you're not relying on 3rd party tools. It's really not that hard, once you have the hang of it.

Thanks tricky, I started a new post because I corrected the first and didnt' want to confuse anyone.

anyone know about this?
