Hi River,

With regards to getting Apache working on the host, try this...

open up /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
comment out any "BindAddress" or "Port" directives and put in...

Listen 11.22.33.44:80
Listen 11.22.33.44:443

Where 11.22.33.44 is the IP address of your host server

For more see...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#listen

I think that Apache does not load for you at the moment as it cannot
"lock" all the IP addresses returned by ifconfig and so just refuses to
start up!

With regards to proftpd and wu-ftp, ive heard that pro is a faster and
more secure.

Hope this helps.

Thanx Tim :) this is making more and more sense to me now...

This does mean that the same binarys must exist on the hosting server as
in

services for

that explains why ftp services are broken, but apache isn't even
responding
on the master host address or ip anymore... Also, I think I like the
idea
of setting up a softlink to wu-ftp (unless there's any particular
advantage
to proftp) but I have no idea how. A little help, or at least a pointer
to
relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

wouldn't that break the virtual servers though? my virtual servers work,
it's my master server that's broken... could this still somehow be an
issue
for me? are the master server services just broken at this point because
their default configuration has been overridden by vsd?

any thoughts on this one? this is key...
