New Pleskian
Error: Unable to restart service: Unable to manage service by apache_control_adapter: ('restart', 'web'). Error: ports are unknown, use --http-port NUM --https-port NUM

***** problem report *****
Warning: start service httpd failed

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pleskrc execution failed:
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

There's nothing that I know that changed between the other day and today, yet everything is broken now. The sites don't work but Plesk does.

Best,

Josh
 
Most likely the problem is caused by the reason, the description in the article  Unable to start Apache: Unable to find IPv4 address of server.example.com
I advise you to check it out.
