Apache won't restart from within Plesk

spaceout

Basic Pleskian
When I try to restart Apache from within Plesk or if I type "service httpd restart" at the command line it fails...however if I use "apachectl restart" it works fine.

What's the best way of finding out why this is happening?
 
check your httpd logs (/var/logs/httpd)

You should find your error pretty easily (I think apache is one of the coolest service to debug when experiencing errors)
