I just made changes to the apache httpd.conf, when i logged into the SSH client, i typed in

% restart_apache

and got the error "No such job"

I really need someone's help, because all my pages are Internal server errors until i restart the apache! HELP!

if it's RedHat it's

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

if it is not RedHat then post. Someone will know. Mark knows BSD well.

apachectl restart
for BSD, i believe. If not, maybe:

/usr/sbin/apachectl stop

/usr/sbin/apachectl start

It all depends on where apache is installed, and under what name.

Sometimes /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
others /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd start
or /usr/sbin/httpd start

could be anywhere. You need to know where the binary is

--mark

% whereis apachectl

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
gives me:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start gives me a huge list of stuff like:
I got no flie or directory for masterminds and marks fix.

i put
"whereis httpd" and got this
Then "whereis apache" gave me this

Alright tried the command "/usr/sbin/httpd restart" and got this

are you logged in as root? if you try to restart apache (running as root) when you're logged in as a normal user, it will report that it's not running.

Just a thought

My servers contacted me earlier saying they saw that i apparently "created a partial AddHandler" and this caused my ise error. However, they didn't say how to log in as root. How do you?

your on a virtual host?

ROFLMAO!

You can't touch apache unless you're root, which, unless you admin the server, you're probably not.

Hmm... but you must be logged in as root, otherwise you shouldn't be able to edit httpd.conf... type the command su - : if it asks you for a password, you're not running as root.
Do you know what operating system you're running? Are there any special considerations, like is your server a RaQ or other pre-setup server? Who provides the server lease?

I am not an expert. I just got in. I wish to see if this forum works. Sorry for disturb.
