HTTPD won't start

[painterj]

I successfully had Apache up(withou suexec) for a day before it shutdown for some reason this morning and now I've spent almost a day getting it up again without success.

When I try to start it in plesk I get this error:

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by websrvmng: Empty error message from utility.

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:154
psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by websrvmng: Empty error message from utility.')

require(string '/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php')
2: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/plesk.php:23


This is what the apache error log shows:

I tried to restart it in the shell and it seems to be up and running:

[root@rbi0294 init.d]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.
[ OK ]

Make sure your mod_suexec is loaded into the apache config.

Hi,

I would also recommend checking permissions on suexec wrapper as stated in the following article:
