And it just keeps going on and on and on .. What are these errors? How can I get rid of these errors? Is this something I should be fixing or should InMotionHosting fix these errors? Thank you for any help.

Thank you for your question AndySC!

This error typically is caused by a problem when Easy Apache is compiled on a vps or dedicated server using PHP 5.2. Unfortunately, there is not enough information in the question to determine what type of server you are on. You will need to submit a email to [email protected], verifying the account in the email with the last 4 of the credit card number or the current AMP password. Paste the error in the email. Our tier 2 support will be able to fix this error. Here is more info on this from cPanel.
