Hello, in my server configuration users can place their own SSL certificate in predefined directories. A daily cron script detects them, updates the apache config and restarts the server. However, if there is a problem with the certificate or key file, the apache refused to work altogether. Is it possible to make apache disable only the problematic vhost instead of refusing to start?
What you probably need to do is validate the certificates before updating the apache configuration file. The TLS library (e.g. openssl) probably can do that, though I'm not familiar with the specific argument you would need.
Apache also has a check that can test whether or not apache will successfully start, that you can run before restarting the server.
apachectl configtest I believe is the command.I'm not sure it tests all the TLS certs but if it doesn't, it is a bug in my mind.
