Resolved Problem with Apache

[H.W.B]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.52 Update #3

Hello,
My apache stops working.
I got the following errors...

Error: Can not reconfigure web server configurations: Unable to execute httpdmng: [2023-05-27 23:22:42.016] 66557:647274a202774 ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed ['/opt/psa/admin/bin/apache-config' '-t'] with exit code [1]

The webserver configuaration Troubleshooter can not repair this.
Also the Apache Errorlog does not show errors because apache is not running.

Does anybody know how to solve this??

If you read the warning it says it right there

[2023-05-27 23:22:42.190] 66557:647274a202774 ERR [panel] Apache config (16852225610.49287000) generation failed: Template_Exception: AH00526: Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/info.conf:

Are you putting in custom mods? From the looks like you're not using standard configurations that Plesk provides either.

What you can do is re-generate all the configuration files using the follow command:

plesk repair web

This will regenerate the configuration files for the web server and all domains.

@H.W.B An authentication provider module was disabled in Apache. You can try to

# a2enmod authz_host authz_user
# service apache2 restart

Hello Peter

Here is the result of you suggestion :

root@plesk:~# a2enmod authz_host authz_user
Considering dependency authz_core for authz_host:
Module authz_core already enabled
Enabling module authz_host.
Considering dependency authz_core for authz_user:

To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
systemctl restart apache2

Hello scsa20
The repair function can not repair this.

This is now a different error. Previously it was about a missing Authz module, now the new issue is

Syntax error on line 25 of /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

What was changed on the Apache web server before that modules are missing? Did you manually update, add or remove any Apache packages or did you do any other system updates that changed such modules as dependencies?

Please check the file
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf
and activate all modules mentioned in that file. Then restart web server.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Problem was not resolved, so i had to reinstall the server completly. Luckely it was only 1 day old, so there was no domains etc on it.
