Apache stopped working

[virtualspy]

Apache stopped working out-of-the-blue Saturday, and I can't figure out why. The only thing I did on the server was install telnet so that I could use Cygwin to create an X session from a Windoze client.

 

Here are the symptoms:

1. http clients get Page Cannot Be Displayed

2. Mandrake Control Center shows the service is running

3. I can get into Webmin on that server

4. Webmin shows httpd proccesses running

5. Webalizer works within Webmin, but not at "http://localhost/stats/index.html"

6. Webmin Server Status shows red X next to Apache

 

What I've tried:

1. Stopping service, restarting

2. Rebooting

3. Upgrading Apache to the newest stable release

4. Changed the port number from 80 to 800 (since Webmin works on 10000)

5. Un-installing telnet

6. Changed the port number back to 80.

 

I did NOT try to un-install Apache altogether because I'm afraid of losing plugins for MySQL, Webmin, Webalizer, etc. and I would rather not have to reinstall those components. Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out:

 

After un-installing and re-installing Apache, it still didn't work, so I uninstalled the modules I don't actively use (both pearl and SSL). One of them had a conflict of some kind. I'm back in business now. Cheers.

How did you uninstall the modules. I am a "super-newbie". I installed Mandrake 10 I got from the Linux Format Margazine in the UK. The Advanced Extranet Server (Apache 2.0/1.3) worked fine for 3 days and then, it STPPED DEAD, just like you described it.

 

I would appreciate any help on that!
