Per user web directorys stoped working

[ozak]

ok, this is really wierd. My per-user web directorys were working in apache2, but now, they suddenly have stopped.
I can go to the main site, but all over the ~users's don't work.
the tail end of my error log is
[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7965 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7966 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7959 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7960 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7961 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7962 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7963 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7965 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:48 2004] [warn] child process 7966 still did not exit, sendin$[Sun Apr 18 20:05:49 2004] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

anyone?

Yet Another Wild Guess (tm): Your Apache does not load mod_userdir during startup.

That means a change in his apache config - which he doesn't mention.

My guess would be that he changed the permissions on the /home dir.
Apache needs to be able to execute /home, or apache can't go into users' public_html dirs.

I tryed chmod a+xing the /home dir. But it still says "redirecting to localhost" in the brower when i try to goto a any userdirectory.

You might like to fix the problem with mod_php too.
