Web Server fails to start after SSL installation

Pagemakers

Silver Pleskian
I added a SSL cert to my box and now apache webserver fails to start leaving all my domains offline.

I get this error:

[root@p15193108 ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 87 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/local/psa/var/certificates/cert-RBlz88' does not exist or is empty
[FAILED]


Any ideas?
 
Actually, it is better to install certificates directly through Plesk Control Panel > Server > Certificates.
In this case Plesk writes correct entries in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf and such problem should not occur.

Anyway, please, make sure that such certificate 'cert-RBlz88' is located in /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/.
 
I get this error after fresh install and I can't go to Plesk Controv panel.

What I miss?
