Cpanel Restart Services

Cpanel Restart Services

 By default, you may restart the following services via WHM:

•     DNS nameserver (named/BIND or NSD)
•     FTP Server (ProFTPd or Pure-FTPd)
•     HTTP web server (Apache/httpd)
•     POP3/IMAP email server (Courier or Dovecot)
•     POP3 server (cPPOP)
•     Mail server (Exim)
•     SQL server (MySQL)
•     SSH server (openSSH)

Restarting a service will not work if the service is stopped. If you wish to start or stop a service, refer to the Service Manager feature in WHM.

To restart a service:

•     On the main Restart Services screen, select the service you wish to restart.
•     When asked whether you wish to restart the service, click Yes. 

Restart from the command line 

Important: If you use IPv6, the service network restart command will remove the IPv6 addresses from the network device. To restart your IPv6 configuration, you must run the /etc/init.d/cpipv6 restart command after you restart the network service.

Restart directly from the command line
 If this does not work, you can attempt to restart the service directly. The location of the service depends upon your operating system; however, for many distributions, services are located in the /etc/init.d/ directory.
