I run some forums off a SUSE 9.2 Dedicated server in a data centre.

This morning the server had to be powercycled. Now the guy who would normally manage all stuff like this is away for a few days. I also know that the forum process had to be restarted last time we had a power cycle. So I guess h e didnt set it to autoboot.

Does anyone know the command for getting this process up and running again. apologies in advance if the info provided is a bit sketchy
 
I think it is apache.

Is there any command I can use in putty or webmin to start the webserve at all ?

I would like to start the webserver without the need for rebooting the entire box if at all possible.

I went into webmin. Apache and httpd was not there. So I tried the command line by line as suggested in putty.

I got the config on screen and tried the last bit but I got an error message saying-bash: httpd: command not found
 
alan3:/ # find / -name httpd -print
/etc/httpd
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
/home/src/httpd-2.0.54/.libs/httpd
/home/src/httpd-2.0.54/httpd


I CD to /usr/local/apache2/bin/

tried cd httpd and it says not a directory

so i did ./httpd start in the bin directory and I got the following

Usage: ./httpd [-D name] [-d directory] [-f file]
[-C "directive"] [-c "directive"]
[-k start|restart|graceful|stop]
[-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-t] [-S]
Options:
-D name : define a name for use in <IfDefine name> directives
-d directory : specify an alternate initial ServerRoot
-f file : specify an alternate ServerConfigFile
-C "directive" : process directive before reading config files
-c "directive" : process directive after reading config files
-e level : show startup errors of level (see LogLevel)
-E file : log startup errors to file
-v : show version number
-V : show compile settings
-h : list available command line options (this page)
-l : list compiled in modules
-L : list available configuration directives
-t -D DUMP_VHOSTS : show parsed settings (currently only vhost settings)
-S : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
-t : run syntax check for config files
 
Burbleflop that works fantastic and it is up. Your help is very much appreciated

Only problem now is that when we try and connect to the forums it comes up with a message phpBB Critical error could not connect to the db. Would that mean MySQL needs booting as well.

I hate it when people are away
 
i can cd to it in putty and tried the command with no success

I looked in webmin for the file manager and for rc.d there is one file with like an arrow next to it. Other rc.d files are readme and status

no MySql file in there
