Problem with the apache (I can't start ist)

Hello!

My Server: SUSE 9.3 Prof with ISP Config
(It ist a Strato Server)

Installed with these HowTo http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_9.3

Every thing is fine and all services are online (started).

Now I put the register_globals from Off to On and restart the apache.

Then I install the OSCommerce Shop.

But now the Web-Server is Offline, I see it in the Admin of ISPConfig.
I can't restart or start it in the adminmenu.

Then I go in Putty

In the /var/log/apache2/error_log is nothing!!!

What is the Problem, what can I do??????????

Thank you for your help!

 

Hmmmm

From what i see the program bailed when it triend to merge those directories and ever since then its been tripping over it self. Also you're apache config file (i cant remember where it is ) is not configured to put the error data there. By setting the error log "|/www/cgi-src/errorlog.pl >>/www/logs/error.log"<--- example script you can send errors to custom files if a problem arises... i think thats you're first step.

 

I dont find it!

Sorry but I dont find /www/cgi-src/errorlog.pl

 

And Apache is working with register_globals set to Off?

 

Hello Falko!

No now apache dosen't work.

Never mind register_globals ist On or Off.

 

And there's nothing in the Apache error log?
Do you get errors when you restart Apache?

 

I have to install the Server new!

It ist a Strato Server only with SUSE 9.3 Prof
First I have do the HowTo for SUSE 9.3 then I install the ISPConfig.
Everything is fine and all services are online
Then I make the Maildir On and change the language to German.
Now I create a costumer, a web and a user and E-Mail.
Then I create a SSL Certificate for the Domain and test it.
Everything works fine, I can connect the Domain with Firefox.
Now I create a MySQL Database.
Then I loggin with WS_FTP at the Webspace and copy some Files (9,9MB).
During this I want to connect the Domain with Firefox again, but it dosen't work! " Beim Versuch, www.xxx.de zu kontaktieren, wurde die Verbindung zurückgesetzt." (Time ca. 16:58)
I look in the ISPConfig admin and the Web-Server is offline!
I go in the Putty and want to restart the apache:

Thats all what I do with my new installt Server!!!!!!!!

After I want to restart the Apache again there is nothing more in the error_log!

What ist the Problem????????
What can I do?

It is the third installation and everytime the same Problem! Eveytime whan you connect the Domain with FTP and during this with http, the apache go's offline and you can't start or reboot the apache!
Is this a Bugg of ISPConfig?

Please help me!

 

Hello Till and Falko!

I find the Problem!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, there is no Bug in the ISPConfig!

The Problem is my SSL certificate!

First I make a SSL certificate with ISPConfig. After this is all OK, I can stop, start or restart the apache!

Then I put my own SSL Certifikate for that Domain in SSL Request and SSL Zertifikat and save it. Thats the Problem!!!!!!!!!!

Now the Apache go's down and I can't start it. The error Message you can see in the other Posts.

But why????

When I delete the SSL Certificate I can start the apache and all is OK!!!

Why don't the Server work with my SSL Certificate????????

 

I don't no.

I got the certificate from my previous hoster Webplus24
It runs with Confixx very well.
I copy the key and certificate only from Confixx to ISPConfig.

 

Never seen this before. I get my own SSL certs at instantssl.com, and they always work...
