WARNING - Apache did not restart

JohnDM · Aug 11, 2022

Hi. I am having this issue after creating a subdomain. When saving I got this error.
Is the CentOS 7 update causes this issue?
Below are the journal and status.
What more info can I look at to trace this issue.
Kindly help. Thanks in advanced

[SOLVED]
It's just missing vhost of some domain hosted and ssl cert, key.

Most of the time it's about faulty SSL config.
Apache should just try to ignore these problems.
