Plesk advising that Apache won't restart because off SSL problem.

RobertSL

New Pleskian
Hello.

My old SSL expired, I bought a new one and basically, I made a mistake of removing the old certificate AND the default certificate at server level before I attempted to install the new one. I stopped the (VPS) server in order to restart and enter the new SSL certificate detail having removed the old ones. Big mistake.

I got this message on opening Plesk - "New files of configuration for Apache web server were not built due to errors in configuration templates: Syntax error on line 130 of /opt/psa/admin/conf/generated/13809789530.86072600_server.include: SSLCertificateFile: file '/opt/psa/var/certificates/certlpbvvt3' does not exist or is empty"

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this? My server provider is advising a rebuild? Is there a workaround?

Thanks in anticipation

Robert
 
Code:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

Thanks abdi - they have tried this, they say it doesn't work. Here is their reply "The command that you provided was one of many that I have previously tried to rectify the issue. I have also tried to run the bootstrap command and several other commands to rectify the issue. I have also tried to re-add a self signed SSL but the issue with Apache is still there".

Anyone else got possible solutions?
 
I can have this resolved for you with a through investigation. But you will need a level3 ticket ...See my signature ..
