apache2 start problems after update
by mike20 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D6W2)
I have a problem with how to set up an apache2 web server.
I had it running a while ago but after the update to Leap 15.5 it seems broken. It was just a test side so nothing important.
When I try to config it with Yast I get the error message icannot adjust apache2 servicei
After uninstalling the package, deleting all config files, and reinstalling Apache again I havenit made any progress. I had it working but I donit know what happened.
Code:# service apache2 start
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xeu apache2.service" for details.Code:# service apache2 status
