Updated Apache2 and broke domain access on 443

1

Running HCP in Oracle Cloud - Now on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS - I ran apt update / upgrade. I’m not Linux ex-spert so when I was prompted to choose. “witch Apache2 instance to patch” I must have picked the wrong one.

After reinstalling Apache2 I got the following:

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action “start” failed.

Is there anyway I can recover?

Thank you,

Replace the config that can be found inL

I don’t know what i’m doing wrong here. When I tried to replace this apache no longer starts, be it from the console using nano or via Hestia itself.

Thanks for the solution. But unfortunately all my updating has broken my access to my Oracle Ubuntu via ssh and ssl pup and privet key. Once I get that fixed I will then try to apply your fix above.
