“semget: No space left on device” shows that that your server has run out of semaphores.

To check how many semaphores are being used, login to your server as root and run the following:

ipcs –s

Now to bring up the Apache service again, one has to clear the semaphores.

And for that execute the following command:

for whatever in `ipcs -s | awk ‘{print $2}’`; do ipcrm -s $whatever; done

Above command may not work with old servers. In that case, you have to do the following :

/sbin/service httpd stop
ipcs -s | grep nobody | gawk ‘{ print $2 }’ | xargs -n 1 ipcrm sem
/sbin/service httpd start

If this is a common issue occurring , you may want to increase the semaphore limits on your hosting server.

You can do that by adding the following to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

# For increasing the semaphore limits & extend Apache’s uptime:

kernel.msgmni = 512
kernel.sem = 250 128000 32 512

Later on a user can load the new settings into the kernel:

sysctl -p

That’s it

If you need to check the Apache version number installed on your server, you can do so in one of a couple ways. In the default configuration, Apache will be set to display its version information on most of you error pages. This means the easiest way to check your version number is to visit a link to a file that does not actually exist, such as: https://domain.com/unknownfile.txt.

If for whatever reason, this does not show you your current Apache version, you can also check using the command line.

Checking Your Apache Version Using the Command Line

To check your server’s current version of Apache using the command line, please refer to the following steps:

1. First, log in to your server as root user.
2. Next, enter the following command:

   root@mybox [~]# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v

   Or simply:

   root@mybox [~]# httpd -v

   This will return a short response that includes both the current version number as well as the date the binary was built. It should look something like this:
   
   Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Unix)
   Server built: Oct 3 2010 11:41:41

And with that, you should now be able to check the installed version of apache on your server.

[Tue Mar 28 04:29:42 2006] [notice] child pid 24546 exit signal File size

limit exceeded (25)

This means that you have a log file that is greater than 2GB in size.

To fix this run the following :

cd /etc/httpd/domlogs
du -sh * | grep [0-9]G

This should show you the file that is causing issues e.g. example.com.log.

To reset it, but loosing the webstats run

cd /etc/httpd/domlogs
rm example.com.log
touch domain.com.log
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start

Do not use just an Apache restart but a full stop/start to make sure it closes all its old files.

log files. Modify httpd.conf file and add the following code into it:

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Deny from all
Order deny,allow
Allow from localhost 192.168,1,56
Allow from .anotherdomain.com
</Location>

Restart apache service:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You will see following parameters in the browser window:-

current date and time CPU usage, total uptime, total access made to web server and total traffic. In the same browser page you could able to see PID, scoreboard which tells you about closing connections, logging connections, client’s IP address,load status, VHost name and the request made for particular pages link.

Now you need to enter following URL in the browser from valid IP address mentioned in the above

code i.e. 192.168.1.56 or from localhost or from browser from anotherdomain.com:

https://your-apache-configured-web-server.com/server-status

This will give you all the details having apache sever status in the browser window.

If you don’t want to specify domain name in the above code then you can make a comment in front

of it by doing:

# Allow from .anotherdomain.com

You can also use following command to get the apache server status automatically after few seconds:

https://your-apache-configured-web-server.com/server-status?refresh=N

where N is a number of seconds to refresh the status web page.

Then execute the following commands:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build update
./build apache_mod_ssl

This should update both the configure options and the version of apache to the most recent version. Once the update is completed, restart apache:

RedHat:/sbin/service httpd restart

FreeBSD:/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart

The post How to backup a copy of apache? appeared first on Hivelocity Hosting.

1) Restore the old httpd.conf file:

cp -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.1.3.backup /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

2) Get DirectAdmin to use the old httpd.conf files for the users. Edit the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file and change apache_ver=2.0 to apache_ver=1.3. Then type

echo “action=rewrite&value=ips” >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
echo “action=rewrite&value=httpd” >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
echo “action=directadmin&value=restart” >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

3) Now you can recompile apache 1.3

rm -f /usr/lib/apache/*
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build all

4) Fix the modules link:

cd /etc/httpd
rm -f modules
ln -s /usr/lib/apache modules

5) Restore the old boot script:
FreeBSD:

cp -f /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/httpd_freebsd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd
chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart

RedHat:

cp -f /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/httpd /etc/init.d/httpd
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

* Compile the PHP 5 lib for Apache *

– Download php to a temporary directory (https://www.php.net/downloads.php)
– cd [the temporary directory]
– tar zxvf php-5.0.x.tar.gz
– cd php-5.0.x
– /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/configure.php ( _ap2 for Apache2)
– make
– make install

* This was the install procedure * (Check if /usr/lib/apache/libphp5.so exists)

You can copy the php-dist.ini to /usr/local/lib/php.ini and edit for Register Globals on etc. (OR JUST USE THE OLD ONE IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO CHANGE )

* Configure you’re apache (2) *

– vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

** On my machine the httpd conf is already altered:

#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
LoadModule frontpage_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_frontpage.so
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp5.so

** QUOTE OUT THE LoadModule php4_module:

#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
#LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
LoadModule frontpage_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_frontpage.so
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp5.so

Restart apache And all should work GREAT!

If it doesn’t work, UNQUOTE the LoadModule php4_module and QUOTE the LoadModule php5_module and restart apache
