Resolved Unable to start Apache

[anirudh79]

I am new to VPS and optimizing Apache and web servers. I was trying to disable modules using Plesk. And I also took a backup of apache modules file just in case if anything goes wrong. Disabled some modules (recommended by people on the internet) and then apache failed to start. I also tried recovering my backup apache module files but the apache isn't starting at all.

Here's the out of systemctl status httpd.service

And here's the output of journalctl -xe

Hi @anirudh79,

Are you running Apache as sudo?
