Fix Apache Failure With RHE & cPanel

Last Updated: November 30, 1999

If your RedHat Enterprise is causing Apache (HTTPD) to fail every day then most likely it is due to the attempt to update the RPM with CPanel's up2date. Apache will go down, and then be restarted within a few minutes so it's not a 'terrible thing' however apache does die, and this is never acceptable.
Here is how to remedy this problem.

1. Login to your server via SSH as root.
(If you disabled root logins login with your other username, and su to root)

2. Type:
up2date --configure

3. Type:8
Then press ENTER

4. Paste: kernel*;httpd
Then press ENTER

5. Type: 24
Then press Enter

6. Paste: httpd;ypbind;kernel;kernel-modules
Then press ENTER

7. Press ENTER (Exit & Save)
