How To Fix A Non-Responsive Account In Site Manager


Follow these steps for resolving a non-responsive account in Site Manager for Westhost.com

Step 3. If Apache is not responding and will not start,

  • check the /var/log/httpd/error_log, and /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log.
  • You also might check the perms and ownership of the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, it may have been changed by the admins, contact support if you do not have permissions.

Step 4. If SMTP isn’t responding and won’t respond after a restart, look in /usr/sbin/, looking at the sendmail.sendmail file. Ensure perms are 755, root/root and the file name is sendmail.sendmail, not anything else.

Step 5. If the Alternate SMTP port 2525 is not responding, try restarting the Account or running the command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start"

Step 6. If Dovecot is not responding, try running /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start. If a message is generated stating a pid file already exists, simply delete the file, and run the same command.

Step 7. If MySQL will not start check /var/lib/mysql/domain.com.err for any error messages.
