Apache stopped working suddenly

Hi everyone!

I have a problem, maybe someone can help. Suddenly my Apache stopped working and I can't get it running anymore.

If I enter [CMD=]apachectl status[/CMD] it gives me
Code: 
Looking up localhost
Making HTTP connection to localhost
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

I'm still using Apache 1.3 and haven't touched anything for almost four years because it's only a webserver.

But if I ping localhost inside the server being physically connected, then the server gives an answer
Code: 
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.043 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms
^C
--- localhost ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.032/0.038/0.043/0.004 ms
]

I don't know what to do anymore, it just stopped suddenly.

I really need help with that because lots of people useing it on a daily basis.
 
Apache 1.3 went end-of-life two years ago. And if you haven't touched it in about four years that would also mean you never applied any security fixes.

I'd take the host off-line immediately as it's most likely being abused by hackers now.
 
Here's httpd-access.log. But those are errors from long ago.

What log files do you guys need? I'm not so into this stuff. Sorry I do my best.

Anything else?
 
Post httpd.conf.

Add
Code: 
AcceptMutex fcntl
to the end of httpd.conf and restart apache with [CMD=""]/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache restart[/CMD]
 
I am getting error after adding
Code: 
Acceptmutex fcntl
to httpd.conf:

Code: 
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart: configuration broken, ignoring restart
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart: (run 'apachectl configtest' for details)
vedur# apachectl configtest
Requested serialization method 'fcntl' not available

It only runs on intranet it can't be touched by outside connection.

There is more to fear from your own employees than from outside hackers. Employees already have access to your network and they usually know where the interesting stuff is kept.

In short, treat internal hosts exactly the same as you would an external one.

They have only acces to their home folders and shared drives. And trust me they don't know how to use ssh. This is not the cause.
