/etc/init.d/httpd failed md5sum comparison test

mvandemar
My client received the following email: Subject: lfd on server: System Integrity checking detected a modified system file Time: Thu Oct 5 01:50:17 2017 -0400 The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparison test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated: /etc/init.d/httpd: FAILED open or read Since there is no actual file or link in that location I am not understanding why it would be checking against. I tried Googling and saw no results for this error message. Any idea what would be causing it, or if there is a concern? Thanks. -Michael

    Hello, The notification you are referencing comes from CSF/LFD as opposed to cPanel. It suggests that "/etc/init.d/httpd" previously existed on your system, and now does not. Have you made any recent changes to this server (e.g. upgrading to EA4, installing/uninstalling a third-party plugin such as LiteSpeed or Nginx)? If not, you may want to post to their support forums on the following URL for additional help with that particular notification: General Discussion (csf) - ConfigServer Community Forum Thank you.

    I have also received this email this morning; mvandemar is there any feed back from csf/lfd on this topic?

    /etc/init.d/httpd
    shouldn't exist on CentOS/RHEL/CloudLinux 7, regardless of using Apache, LiteSpeed or nginx. e.g. on a CentOS 7 install with Apache:
    # stat /etc/init.d/httpd stat: cannot stat '/etc/init.d/httpd': No such file or directory

    @martin MHC are you running CentOS 6? Did you get the exact same error or a similar one? An EasyApache 4 update was released a couple of days ago, so it could be related: EasyApache 4 Change Log 2019 - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation (btw this is a 2 year old topic)

    Hi WinTech, No I am on CentOS 7.6 . I think the Apache update was what triggered this notification. I was aware of the age of this thread but there was very few results for searching for this issue.

    Hello :) I recommend opening a support ticket so we can take a closer look at your system to see why the /etc/init.d/httpd file exists. Post the ticket number here once it's opened and I'll link this thread to it. Thank you.
