restart httpd

[dimsoer]

I tried to restart my httpd service. somehow it returned this error:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 330: /bin/rm: cannot execute binary file

/etc/init.d/httpd: line 75: /bin/rm: cannot execute binary file
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
/etc/init.d/httpd: line 62: /bin/touch: cannot execute binary file

seems like the HTTPD wasnt stopped while it should be stopped. it skipped the 'stop' and just right away jump into 'start' command. my case is i just changed some php.ini configuration, and to have it changed i need to restart after changes.


am i correct if i say my '/bin/rm' and '/bin/touch' files are corrupted?
i tried some simple rm command (to remove files) and it just wont run as usual, returning this error

$ rm -r files.txt
-bash: /bin/rm: cannot execute binary file

Any help appreciated. thanks.

Have you tried rebooting the system? Have you updated the OS or installed some new packages recently? Often this sort of problem is because the binaries of the executables are for the wrong platform, which unless you manually installed packages for the wrong platform, should not be happening.

i have tried to reboot but still /bin/rm still corrupted

# file /bin/rm
/bin/rm: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), corrupted program header size, corrupted section header size

any idea?
perhaps where can i get the binary files that i need to replace all these corrupted file?
thanks

Something has stepped on these programs. I assume you are running a 64-bit operating system? Since these are system utilities, you need to get copies either from a running system of the same type/vintage, or from the installation CD/DVD. Also, you really need to determine how this happened. Perhaps you have been pwnd by a trojan or virus?
