Did you read the advisory first? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't have had this problem. > it took down apache and couldn't bring it back up.. Because you didn't install it properly. Go to MandrakeSecure, look at the 7.2 rpms listing, and find the last apache update. Follow the instructions. It's not meant to go through rpmdrake. Read this: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/2001/MDKSA-2001-077-1.php > So, in an effort to fix the situation, I removed all php rpms, and > hashed > out any ref I could find in the httpd conf > files for php. Yeah, php wasn't your sole problem. The apache+php updates are meant to be done together, and they're meant to be done in a certain way. > no luck, it still wouldn't start. > > so I removed all the hashes it had added, and manually downloaded the > php > rpms from a FTP update for 7.2 site.. > > installed them, no good, httpd-perl starts, httpd itself just gives > alot of > [PASSED] messages > > apachectl configtest > > gives the ok for all config files, but still it won't start.. > > nothing in /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog /var/log/httpd/error_log > to say why its not starting.. > > I am about to try removing all the php stuff, and put the old 7.2 > rpms's > back in and see if that fixes it.. > > why don't mandrake test this stuff before putting it up as updates??? Why don't you read advisories before blindly updating important stuff??? Can't do everything for you... you need to do a little work. > This is the second or third time I've been bitten for loading 7.2 > update > rpms... Probably for the same reason... lack of reading advisories. They are there for a reason. > not good for a server environ... Not if you don't know how to read. > any tips/help/commiseration would be much appreciated.. You could also try providing the names of the currently-installed apache and php packages, and those you were trying to upgrade. For all I know, you were trying to use the 8.2 packages on a 7.2 system. > what I need to know is where i can get more info, ExtendedStatus > doesn't get > me anything useful either. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
