Sat. I upgraded my OS and Kernel following these instructions.
The first step is to register the system with redhat and sign-up for the update. This needs to be done only once for one server.
Login as root and give the command:
rhn_register
This will ask you a couple of questions, which you need to answer. At a point, you need to enter a username, password and an email-address. Just think of a unique username, password and enter your email address, and continue with the rest of the questions. At the final state, it will send the profile to Redhat Network.
The second step is to configure the command to update the system. After that, you just need to run this command and update your system to the latest.
Let us first configure the options.
as root, enter the command:
up2date --configure
select number for "removeSkipList" ENTER
C ENTER
select number for "pkgSkipList" ENTER
C ENTER
ENTER
What the above command does is it will remove "kernel" from the skip package list, and hence, everything, including the kernel can now be upgraded automatically. Unless you are using raid or dual cpu's or a custom-made kernel, upgrading the kernel via up2date is the recommended method.
Update the server:
login as root, and issue the following command
up2date -u

Ever since my server has been crippled by one thing or another. First Perl was corrupted, killing exim stats. Perl had to be re-installed. Then cpanel was jacked up. When Perl was re-installed it fixed these problems. Then the CGI counter scripts quit working, The images were gone.
Then yesterday Apache died for most of the day. I tried to re-build it as "thelinuxman" suggested in a diff. post.

I was getting this eror from within ssh:
/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start
Syntax error on line 499 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd could not be started
Finally the DC admin decided it was a perl module in the httpd_config file that was causing the problem. I told him what I had done and asked him to check everything out. He said the Kernel was fine.
How ever I got this in my logwatch this morning:

I can post the rest of the log if needed.
So my question is. Is it broke or not? I am willing to pay for help.
Thanks, Kevin
