Its probably best if you tell us what operating system it is running
first. And what distribution.

Are both sites running on apache?? Some sort of Virtual Hosts setup
possibly??

What sort of errors are you getting?? Have you checked the logs?? (Look
through some of the logs in /var/log)

You can try a few things once you have located apachectl

>./apachectl configtest

Should return and say "Syntax OK"

Also, try looking at the error logs for apache (usually under
/usr/local/apache/logs)
That may give you some hints on what is wrong.

Could the other site be a secure site and needs to run with SSL?
If so, then the command would be:

>./apachectl startssl

Another post replied saying how you might go about testing and finding
`apachectl`

For what it is worth, I have seen some installations where apachectl
doesn't actually do the right thing.

This can happen if the configuration file for apache (httpd.conf,
apache.conf, apache2.conf, etc) isn't named or located where the
webserver is compiled to expect it ... and the commands in
/etc/init.d/apache (or /etc/init.d/httpd or whatever) explicitly
reference a different configuration file.

This is all to say that you might try using

/etc/init.d/apache [re]start

(or whatever) if apachectl doesn't do it for you.

When you say it's not working... what exactly do you mean? Connection
timeout?
Regardless, it's probably worthwile checking apache's access_log to see
if Apache received the request. Other things to check are the error_log,
and I would do a tcpdump to ensure the packet is arriving. Try and
telnet from external yourself to port 80 and type:

GET / HTTP/1.0

(provided it's an IP-based website, not name-based)

Are you running a firewall on this server? I presume there's a firewall
in between, though you can access the ISPs website and unless they
aren't hosted on the same IP it's probably not the problem.

apachectl restart. Try and find where apachectl is:

  # updatedb
  # locate apachectl

.. or simply:

  # find / -type f -name apachectl

[SLUG] Server 'up'; but 'down' from external viewers...

2003-09-14 Thread Jared Pritchard 
Eerrkk...  experiencing some problems here with our server  :(

We had a crash of some sort on the weekend, whereby 2 of our 4 machines in
one rack 'turned off' and the switch just stopped working (all lights were
on).
I pulled the power on the switch & restarted it, and it's working fine now,
and restarted the other two machines...
The main machine is the main server, and acts as a basic router, sending log
in requests from our ISP to our RADIUS server (one of the machines that was
still on & working). Henceforth, since the main one was down, no-one could
log in to our internet connection. After re-starting the main server, we
could log in
again and everything seemed to be fine & dandy.

Our main machine has two major websites stored on it. One is our ISPs, the
other is the main website for the other business the boss runs.
The ISP website is working fine. The Main website is not. 
Is this an httpd.conf error? maybe it started up wrong?  (or an apache)...
how can I restart those?

I think it's something like   'apachelt restart now'that we use instead
of httpd restart...  where should I execute this?

Many thanks,

Jared Pritchard
