Apache2 stopped after upgrading to Debian 10

Days ago I upgraded another server, and the same thing happened to me (OVH), but this one cost me even more. And it is that apparently the update finished well, after many problems; but apache2 does not start.

All other services seem to be working. I try to change or add a PHP version and I get the error “Specified PHP version is not installed.”

The curious thing is that in SSH it is active, but not in HestiaCP. The “networking” service is not started either, although the hostname resolves perfectly, I keep getting emails like “unable to resolve host”, I think it has to do with the apache issue, that’s why I’m trying to solve it first.

Any idea?

I fixed it, for some strange reason… mod_fcgid.so module was missing

I installed it with

apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid

Now the only thing I can’t get is to raise the networking.service, I have stopped the CRON notifications because they don’t stop coming.

It’s worth mentioning that this “unable to resolve host” error has happened to me before, but it only got fixed. I have added “nameserver 8.8.8.8.8” to /etc/resolv.conf, but it still can’t get up.
