Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.62

Hello All,

i tried an Upgrade from Ubuntu 22 to 24.
On 20 Servers it works like Charm but on one Server the Apache would not start after the Upgrade.

I have now restored the backup and the server is running with Ubuntu 22 again.

Unfortunately the output you posted does not contain any details as to why Apache wouldn't start. More information can usually be found in the system logs using journalctl -xe.
