Resolved Error in Apache configuration

[Dirk]

Hi guys,

I am having a lot of errors in my domains:

New files of configuration for Apache web server were not built due to errors in configuration templates. The detailed error message was e-mailed to you, so please check the e-mail, fix the errors, and click here to retry generating configuration​

I tried:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain example.com​

but got the response:

[2016-12-29 22:42:23] ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed ['/opt/psa/admin/bin/apache-config' '-t'] with exit code [1]

AH00526: Syntax error on line 178 of /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf:

I checked /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf on line 178 and found following entry:
SSLEngine on
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLCertificateFile ""

So there is no entry in the SSLCertificateFile. What next step should I take? I am helfpful for any ideas.
Btw. - my server is fully functional. SSL works fine.

So I am a little scared to try this next step:

1. Remove all entries from the psa.Configurations :
   # MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -u admin psa -e"delete from Configurations"
2. Reconfigure Apache using the httpdmng utility:
   ~# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

Is it really safe to do that? And could it bring another result. Because after all the SSLCertificateFile-entry seems to be missing...

I tried:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain example.com

Why not

# plesk repair web example.com

?

Is it really safe to do that?

It is safe.

On my test Debian8 Plesk server I see:

# grep SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf
SSLCertificateFile "/opt/psa/var/certificates/cert80q6EmO"
SSLCertificateFile "/opt/psa/var/certificates/cert80q6EmO"

Thnx Igor for pointing into the right direction.

# plesk repair web example.com​

failed with the same error-message:

exit status 1​

BUT - after that I tried:

plesk repair all​

and that repaired billions of things.
After that: everything worked fine again. I only had to set the ssl-cert for Emails and that's it. Amazing product, this PLESK!!!
