We're happy to help, but we'll need more info than that to assist :-)

What errors do you get if you attempt to manually start HTTP from the command line, running "/etc/init.d/httpd restart"?

What errors do you see in the error log -- in /var/log/httpd/error_log?

Has anything changed recently?

You mean the regular websites, or the Virtualmin UI on port 10000 ?

If it is the latter, try SSHing in as root and running /etc/webmin/start

Hi,

I was able to ssh into the box, jumpstart webmin and then was able to get the VirtualMin UI. After that I tried to launch Apache which generated an error:

Starting httpd: Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/oalstede/public_html] does not exist Syntax error on line 1259 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: can't get fastcgi file info: /home/oalstede/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi(/home/oalstede/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi), errno: 2 [FAILED]

I took out the faulty entry from the httpd.conf and started apache. It's running now.

Weird thing is that the domain ( alstede.nl) in the httpd.conf that gave the error was deleted from the server over a month ago ( if not longer ) so whay would it still be in the httpd.conf if it's removed ??

Sounds like the deletion failed .. it is hard to say why without seeing the error message or output from when you deleted that domain though.
