Stupid webmail thingy took me offlist, apologies to Bill and thanks for the

Yeah, this at least tells you what you probably already know. Apache didn't
start. Now you'll have to find out why it's not starting. Jump into the
/var/log/httpd directory and examine the error_log file. If nothing looks
fishy in there, then go to the /var/log directory and examine the boot.log
file there. That might give you the error messages from httpd as it tries to
start.

In response:

I checked the error_log file (in /var/log/httpd) but it has 0 bytes of data
in it, however the ssl_error_log has LOTS of data in it, timestamps
correspond to when I restarted the server last night. Error as follows;

[timestamp] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate
(BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)
[timestamp] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN)
`localhost.localdomain' does NOT match server name!?

My boot/log confirms that httpd is starting and doesnt throw up any errors.

I'm kinda glad this has happened because I'm learning loads about linux
fixing it, so thanks for all your help YDL people.
