[RESOLVED] httpd won't install

Indeed I should have issued my usual disclaimer that "advice from here may be hazardous to the health of your system"; however, the running kernel and the installed kernel do [i]seem[/i] to be real CentOS, and there is no [b]kernel[/b] in the excludes. I'd say the jury is out on the kernel borking the (presumed) control panel, but it is not out of the question.

The OP probably can't change/update the kernel. Most of the cheap VPS hosts use OpenVZ, which runs a special kernel to manage the VM containers. Better VPS hosts run XEN, which supports pv-grub, which allows each VM to run their own custom kernel.

Under OpenVZ, you can YUM UPDATE all day long, and although it will download the kernel, and appear to install the kernel, there's no way to get the new kernel to boot.

Not OpenVZ, unless I miss my bet.

Not to start a war here, but I am running DirectAdmin, yet I can get that off of there because I am finding I am not using it at all anyway. So I will talk to my VPS hosting and see if I can come up with anything, also thank for the kernel update. I will talk about it with them as well.

I will keep everyone here posted.

I just installed a clean version of CentOS, without the DirectAdmin and everything is working as it should be. Thanks for the quick responses. :) This topic can be closed. :)
