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.

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:

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
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:

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 ?
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.
I ran a yum update after which HTTP Apache server fails to start up on my Centos 7 VM.
The apache details - Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips PHP/5.4.16
Kernel version - 3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64
Here is what the systemctl shows. I'm not able to figure out what is broken after the update.

Could I please request help to get some pointers to dig further or anyone who has seen this before & knows how to fix please?
it was happened to me when i install/uninstall free-ipa, because of which nss.conf has been created inside /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf, you can give a try by just moving this file to another directory as i did, now httpd service is working like a charm.
Can you please setup the correct hostname for your server and check " journalctl -xn " command out while restarting httpd services on yoru server, You will get exact root cause of your httpd issues with journalctl -xn command.
