status httpd.service status=1/FAILURE (failed to start httpd)

Dear support @till
I renewed the SSL certificate today with no issues by using GeoTrust that I always use on one of the ISPConfig but now after restarting the server, I get an error status below...

Code:

 systemctl status httpd.service
systemctl status httpd.service

Other services are running e.g. amavisd, dovecot and postfix but cannot start start httpd.

No panic. Sorted. I found that one of the .key for the SSL files was not included in the /etc/pki/tls/certs/ which provides dovecot certificates.
Also updated the .pem CA file.

Thank you
