I am running a dedicated server at The Planet. It has RedHat Enterprise 5.1, WHM 11.23.2, cPanel 11.23.6-S27698.
In a moment of inspiration(!) I upgraded MySQL from 4.1 to 5.0 on my dedicated server. Well, that PHPMYAdmin thing told me to do so and I wanted my websites to run faster...!
That caused a conflict with Apache, resulting in Apache breaking completely.
So I Googled for a solution, and the answer was to rebuild Apache to take into account the new MySQL. Fair enough.
Now, the problem is that (apparently) there is a problem with the Red Hat Network repository hosted by my host (The Planet). Which means that "yum" cannot download the necessary files, and it cannot rebuild Apache. This is even if I try to build the most basic version of Apache (without PHP or MySQL).
I raised a ticket about this and the response seems to be that they don't know how long it will take to fix the repository problem.
In the meantime, all my sites are down because Apache is broken.
If I try to restart Apache, I get this error message:
"Syntax error on line 9 of /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14: version `libmysqlclient_14' not found (required by /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so)"
Is there something I'm missing?! Or can anyone suggest something I could do to get back online?!
I sent a support request to CPanel, and the tech support guy (who was very helpful) said that there was a problem with my /etc/yum.repos.d file - it contains only "rhel-debuginfo.repo" but it should have more entries. I am starting to shrug my shoulders at this stage :-(
Thanks in advance. I am using this opportunity to backup my databases and make sure I've got offline backups of everything. Thankfully, SSH and FTP are unaffected.
