      It's just a problem I am working on. Anything else gathered from this is wrong. If my boss tells me to install a printer, i install it. If my boss tells me to try to diagnose a problem on a server, I do it. If he comes out and tells me to stop I will stop.
      When am I just doing my job?

      I get it, sounds like it is your boss with AJS here.

      So my situation doesn't change. I am still working on this issue.

      Depends if you feel your direct boss or his boss is in charge 😉

        No, his boss is the person who he reports to. He's apparently been tasked with spending time on trying to find out what happened and to presumably document it. Rather than just to get the system up and running.

        Unless his bosses boss came to @wirestyle22 and said "What are you doing, don't do that" should @wirestyle22 just stick with what he's been told to do. It sounds like this was a direct order.

        "Drill a hold in that table." sort of thing.

          Where else is the blood supposed to go when we sacrifice them?

                If we restore it's going to take a long time. It's over MPLS to France. One file is nothing.

                This is a huge problem. How the heck are they using Europe as their singular backup location for US based servers? This is insanity.

                  Have you tried some of the things that we suggested? Like started Apache without the workload to make sure Apache itself is okay?

                    Not sure how I would achieve this. I must have missed this comment

                      You remove the conf file that points to whatever application you are trying to host.

                        Right I'm having trouble locating it. Been looking for awhile. I'm going to try to talk to one of the developers tomorrow when they are here

                          It is apache. It has known config locations that cannot just be changed.

                          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for starters.

                          Even back in RHEL 4 (yes this is still a live server I just made the screenshot from).

                            @JaredBusch Wouldn't this be apache related, but actually php?

                            oci8.so is what I'm trying to comment out somewhere

                              Jared provided the location. /etc/httpd/ has all the Apache config files.

                                No, it is not. That's a C library. Start with what we are talking about... disabling the workload. Ignore the shared libraries, I think you are getting stuck in the weeds. Yes, the errors might be related to that, but likely you have a bigger problem.

                                  Everytime I search for oci8, the results say something about PHP and Oracle.

                                    Yeah, looks like the Oracle DB client is installed.

                                      backup the file

                                      sudo cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak
                                      

                                      the pop it in vi/nano and look for not default things.

                                      also rename anything in /etc/httpd/conf.d

                                      sudo mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/wtf.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/wtf.conf.bak
                                      

                                      then restart apache

                                      sudo service stop httpd
                                      sudo service start httpd

                                        Assuming that doesn't work, then you can do the same with the php.ini

                                            You could do something like this...

                                            mv conf.d conf.d.orig
                                            mkdir conf.d

                                            That way you have an empty folder, but can replace it with the old one in a snap all at once.
