If you find this error in your apache error.log you most likely have rebuild your system and broke a few apache modules.
I received the error after rebuilding my system with EasyApache and using APC + Memcache. I compiled memcache and APC myself, so after rebuilding the system via EasyApache it would receive the error: child pid exit signal segmentation fault 11
If that is not your problem, you should rebuild apache without eaccelerator, acp or memcache, because they can cause the problem.

A very comfortable way to manage all of your e-Mail accounts on your server is: ConfigServer Mail Manage (cmm)

Yesterday I opened my mail client thunderbird and suddenly a message pops up “Sending password did not suceed”. Wow, great!
After doing some research I finally found a solution. And it’s a well known bug:
The reason this happens is because many cPanel installs were done on top of a Linux install that had a POP3 daemon run from xinetd. You will need to change into the /etc/xinetd.d directory from ssh and find the popa3d and popa3ds files. The files look like this:
# default: off # description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \ # using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \ # or fetchmail. service pop3 { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/popa3d } What you need to do is set the 'disable' parameter to 'yes'. It should look like this when you are done: # default: off # description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \ # using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \ # or fetchmail. service pop3 { disable = yes socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/popa3d }Repeat the same for popa3ds and then run:
service xinetd stop
service cpanel restart
service xinetd start
After that simply restart “POP3 service” via WHM/Cpanel and you’ll be fine again.
Annoying, but now it’s fixed!

The following commands are very useful to make sure that imap is running properly:
/scripts/restartsrv_courier
Simple restart of courier.
/scripts/convert2maildir
This will convert your mail boxes into a proper format.
/scripts/courierup –force
This will make sure that the latest imap is running.

If you are on a WHM/Cpanel server and you might want to update your cpanel including all components like FTP, Courier, etc., then you can run the following command via SSH:
/scripts/upcp --force
This will not only make sure you have got the latest Cpanel software, but will also “auto-heal” your system, which means that it will fix some server settings.
