Nov 29 05:52:55 mnsvr systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server. i dont know what i can do, i don understand how a virtual site can colapse a complete web server please i need help how can i disable this site ?. or disable the LE cert for re-certificate? tx in advance
You can recreate the SSL Certificate in the Webinterface, just disable SSL for the site and enable it again. It should recreate the certificate as it is missing. You may have to delete the certificate from /root/.acme.sh/. You can remove the site within ISPConfig or disable it via commandline with "a2dissite nameofthesite.tld".
if i disable web site , can i restart apache for handling the problem from ispconfig? when i use , this is the result root@mnsvr:~# a2dissite tien***********.com ERROR: Site tien**********.com does not exist!wrog syntax?
most likly the name is not correct as it says. Have a look into /etc/apache2/sites-available for the correct name
i try to disbale before, but if i cant, can i delete tien***.com cert form /root/.acme.sh/ w/o fear? tx for help me
It should be in the folder /root/.acme.sh/tien**********.com/ you can just move the folder away from there and recreate the cert. Just move it to /root/ and try i guess. "mv /root/.acme.sh/tien**********.com/ /root/"
i check /etc/apache2/sites-available and use TAB for copy file name after a2dissite, no difference. in theis folder, all domain include la extention .vhost, i tired w and w/o it, no difference!
tx a lot, i trie your idea ( remove cert) and i could start apache, for recreate cert, now is ok, tx again but i like to know, how one isolated problem in a specific website can colapse the web server
That's normal and not ISPConfig-related in any way. Apache will not start when SSL certs are missing. ISPConfig prevents this from happening as long as certs are managed by ispconfig only and as long as you did not disable config tests in ISPConfig. This cert must have been removed manually on the shell so ISPConfig was not aware of it, you just did not notice it right away as you or another admin of your server did not restart apache at the time you deleted the cert file. That's really easy, simply delete the vhost file of that sites in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ folder and restart apache.
