    In my 3 server ISPconfig enviorement the update from Debian 12 to 13 fails "with apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf"
    Does anyone has similar problems and has a solution. Google research does not really give a solution.

    What to do?

    The first step to debug such an issue is to check what's on line 146 in the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

    line 146 mods-enabled/*.load

    Ok, so Apache has a module that is not compatible. Please run ls in the mods-enabled folder to get a list of all modules that are currently enabled. If you look at other threads that deal with Debian 12 to 13 upgrades, then my guess is that it might be the Python module. So, probably deleting its symlink in mods-enabled will make Apache2 start.

    PHP Curl Module is missing.
    PHP MySQLi Module is nmissing.
    PHP Multibyte Module (MB) is missing.
