    Hi there,
    after updating to version 3.1.12 I don't have any access to ispconfig and every website is down.
    how I can restore the backup?

    thanks

    The first step in such a situation is to check what the failure is and not to restore a backup. A backup is restored only if a failure is unfixable.

    As you say that neither websites nor ispconfig is reachable, then the most likely reason is that apache does not start. Try to restart apache and if this does not work, then take a look at the apache error.log to find out why it fails.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I tried to restart apache, but I have this message

    " sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
    [....] Starting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.serviceJob for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
    See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
    failed! "
    But I do:
    systemctl status apache2

    run:

    rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-magiclean.ch.vhost:

    and then start apache again. This website has a n error in it's config, it seems as if someone removed the SSL cert of that site.

    thanks all works.

    I have a question for you.
    I would like to learn how a webserver works, could you recommend to me some books or a online course? something that can give me the bases...

    thank you a lot
