Help!

I was running webstack 1.4 and decided to upgrade to 1.5. Ok, go ahead, just shoot me.

I ran the ./install -u script, it ran, no errors. Now, Apache 2.2 and mySQL will not load. Consequently, now all my webservices are down. Here is the output from svcs -x -v:

Code: 
svc:/network/http:sun-apache22 (Apache 2.2 HTTP server)
 State: maintenance since Sun Jan 02 22:53:30 2011
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL.
   See: [URL unfurl="true"]http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS[/URL]
   See: man -M /opt/webstack/apache2/2.2/man -s 8 httpd
   See: /var/svc/log/network-http:sun-apache22.log
Impact: This service is not running.

I don't know how to proceed further. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Ok..... this post is for some self deprecation and hopefully to help someone else that does the bone-headed move of installing the x86 packages on a SPARC machine.

Yup...that's how I fubar'd my webserver. The fix is actually pretty simple. Here is what I did:

1) Back up your configuration files: php.ini, httpd.conf and any related conf files in the conf.d directory. These files are located in the ETC_ROOT (/etc/opt/webstack)

2) Back up your data directories. This is critical. Can be found in the VAR_ROOT (/var/opt/webstack)

3) Uninstall all of the packages using pkgrm. For a list, go to the directory where you unpacked the original installation files.

4) Delete the application directories to ensure you remove all of the libraries. This can be found under OPT_ROOT (/opt/webstack)

5) Get the right webstack version (in my case it was for SPARC), then re-install using the ./install -v amp command.

You server should come back up.

Hopefully this can help someone.
