adding a new domain causes syntax error in httpd.conf

[impressed webdesign]

i have migrated allot of domains from a server with exactly the same software 500 domains where transfered without a problem.

now i cant add any domain`s anymore

if i add an domain everything in plesk is ok and the domain gets added.
if i then try to restart httpd from command i get the following error

[root@srv1 conf]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [Sat Sep 04 12:20:55 2010] [warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping
httpd: Syntax error on line 211 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 586 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include: Permission denied
[FAILED]

but the everything should be ok

the file is there on that location the rights and owner are the same as any other domain but it won`t load in httpd

what could this be if you need any logs or something just ask il post them asap!

Did you tried to rebuild webserver settings with

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a

?

 

[impressed webdesign]

yes thats the weird part plesk makes the files itself with that command and then when you try :

/etc/init.d/httpd configtest =

[Mon Sep 06 07:54:46 2010] [warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping
Syntax OK

/etc/init.d/httpd reload =

Reloading httpd: not reloading due to configuration syntax error
[FAILED]

and if you force it to condrestart or stop or restart then it won`t load because of :

[root@srv1 conf]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [Sat Sep 04 12:20:55 2010] [warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping
httpd: Syntax error on line 211 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 586 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include: Permission denied
[FAILED]

i tried to check the rights of the folders "ls -al" and of the files of the parent folder the user that runs apache ( "apache" ) the owner and group of the files and folders there all so it seems exactly right ( the same as all the other vhost domains.

 

[IgorG]

Probably, the domain ' domain.com ' has incorrect permissions itself. Could you please run the same command for this specific domain domain.com :

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/vhostmng --install-vhost --vhost-name=<domains> --user-name=<ftpuser> --set-content-permissions

Also it can be related to incorrect SELinux settings. Did you changed it recently?

 

[impressed webdesign]

i cant execute the command atm because the other domains are live.
il try that tonight

is there a way to see what the error is when i use :

[root@srv1 init.d]# /etc/init.d/httpd reload
Reloading httpd: not reloading due to configuration syntax error
[FAILED]

because i don`t know wich domain is causing the trouble a this moment.

the problem started after i did one of the following.

* changed the vhost dir ( /var/www/vhosts to /home/httpd/vhosts with a parallels tutorial "http://kb.odin.com/1165")
* rsync the /home/httpd/vhosts folder with the old server ( same plesk version , same mysql version, same apache version, same users and domains )

 

[IgorG]

rsync the /home/httpd/vhosts folder with the old server

Are you sure that it is not a reason of wrong permissions problem?

 

[impressed webdesign]

al the main folders are "drwxr-xr-x 14 root root" is this correct ?

the folders in the /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/ are

drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Sep 2 11:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 214 root root 12288 Sep 5 08:33 ..
drwxr-x--- 5 client_username psaserv 4096 Sep 2 11:02 anon_ftp

drwxr-xr-x 2 root psaserv 4096 Sep 2 11:02 subdomains
drwxr-xr-x 2 root psaserv 4096 Sep 2 11:02 web_users

the httpd.include file has :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2948 Sep 4 12:12 httpd.include

o and i changed the root password after installation from the shell with : passwd

What about output of 'getenforce'? It should be something like:

# getenforce
Disabled

[root@srv1 d33f.nl]# getenforce

[IgorG]

Try to disable SELinux with

# setenforce 0

 

[impressed webdesign]

[root@srv1 vhosts]# /etc/init.d/httpd reload
Reloading httpd: [ OK ]

so it has to do with that

how to fix it ?
is it the rights of the folders or maybe something else ?

 

[IgorG]

Just correct /etc/sysconfig/selinux
