The server is a SLES9 box running Apache2-2.0.49-27.8 with one default host and three vhost configured. This morning no one is able to access the web pages (www.ridetta.org or www.sharetheridenc.org.) I've checked the config files and everything apears to be correct. I've restarted apache and even rebooted the server. Still no one can access the web pages.
