I got a wired problem that I don't understand at all:
I have a home server with an Apache2 installation on Ubuntu 18.04. My problem is that Apache2 keeps crashing on system reboot.
systemctl status apache2 gives me:
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d

mai 23 13:42:31 potato-server systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
What's super weird is that when I do a manual sudo systemctl start apache2, the server starts. And apache2ctl configtest gives me:
Syntax OK
Any idea of where the problem can come from?
I got some updates:
It seems that my bug is due to that fact I changed the group and user of Apache2 in /etc/apache2/envvar, according to this post: https://www.simplified.guide/apache/change-user-and-group
If I change back user and user group to www-data, it works again. However I would like to run Apache2 from an other user than www-data. Is this possible ?

I'm installing cloudstack on ubuntu 20.04 by following this document.
I installed qemu-kvm and cloudstack-agent successfully but I'm not able to start libvirtd.service, on seeing the status I'm getting following errors

on seeing the log of journalctl -xe it is showing cloudstack-usage.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
can any one suggest what whould be the issue.
Are you trying this on a virtualised VM, or baremetal host, or on a raspberrypi? This means some other service hasn't started which libvirtd may depend on. See if you can run "systemctl daemon-reload" and try to start libvirtd manually "systemctl start libvirtd", and then try rest. The cloudstack-usage service can be started once the mysql server is running. If you've further questions I encourage you to join the CloudStack users mailing list and ask questions there - http://cloudstack.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
I got that same error message when following the official install guide when starting the mysql server. The problem was for me that [mysqld] was missing in the my.conf file before the config snippet. The documentation is misleading in that case (like the secion header is only relevant when editing that alternative mysql config file mentioned later there).
When trying to (re)start httpd service I get the following error:
** (pkttyagent:2574): WARNING **: 01:33:55.345: Unable to register authentication agent:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of subject Error registering authentication agent:

Then
systemctl status httpd.service
sheds no light on the problem:

What might be causing this? Where should I look to debug?
[Thu Jul 23 05:40:44.885963 2020] [ssl:emerg] [pid 2877:tid 140514669713280] AH02565: Certificate and private key do not match
Looks like key and certificate do not match. Please check md5 of the key and cert file.
This usually happens when trying to restart a systemd service.
The workaround is as follows:
Run this as root
groupadd -g 23 nohidproc
usermod -a -G nohidproc polkitd
mount -o remount,rw,hidepid=2,gid=nohidproc /proc
systemctl restart polkit
Apache does not start after installing the web server. (CentOS 7)

You could try by creating a fake certificate.
In centos there is a handy script which might help
$ cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
$ sudo ./make-dummy-cert localhost.crt
This script produces a self-signed certificate and the certificate's private key.
Therefore SSLCertificateKeyFile in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf could be commented out
SLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
# SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
Otherwise service won't start
The error message is very clear:
SSLCertificateFile: file /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt does not exist or is empty
Remove this invalid configuration or add missing/fix existing certificate file. Either way to have to fix the configuration before Apache can start.
Obtaining an SSL certificate is out of the scope for StackOverflow. There're plenty of resources on the web, you can try on ServerFault too…
When you're done, simply sudo systemctl start httpd to start Apache.
Question originally posted in Spanish, on es.stackoverflow.com, by mnsperez97:
I have a problem with the connection to Apache, after restarting it
with the sudo service apache2 restart command, I get this error
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with
error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl
-xe" for details.
and then when entering localhost it does not let me in and it makes me
worse, when I run sudo journalctl -xe he told me the following but
still I do not find the error, if you could help me I would be very
grateful
EDIT: run the systemctl status apache2.service command and this
appears to me

This is common due to problems in your configuration
it may be the port configuration
lock at the log file (pass can be found as ErrorLog in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
or try to undo what you changed in the configuration files till you find the problem

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with following Apache2 version:
Server version: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)
Server built: 2016-07-14T12:32:26
I tried changing httpd.conf as mentioned in other articles, but that didn't helped and I still continue to get this error. Any help would be appreciated.
