Apache httpd won't start.

[boxlocks]

Running: Plesk for Linux, Ver. 9.2.3, Linux 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5, 64Bit

I overwrote the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.pem

Apache won't start. Error logs say the server name is mismatched.

Is there anyway to rebuild this file or create a new one?

Thank you.

Try something like this


openssl genrsa 1024 > host.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key host.key > host.cert
cat host.cert host.key > httpd.pem

Now the httpd.pem should be placed in '/etc/httpd/conf' and the plesk services restarted.

/etc/init.d/psa stopall
/etc/init.d/psa startall

in logs I dont see critical errors, that's just warnings. it would be better if you show us traceview of start process: sh -x /etc/init.d/httpd start
