Looks like you already have an apache started: Jul 16 10:14:23 sma-server3 start_apache2[13613]: httpd (pid 13464) already running Kurt Bremser Allianz Technology GmbH Newton was wrong.

On opensuse 15.0 apache2 v2.4.33 refuses to start. Below is all of the info I could find regarding its failure to start. The bit about "unit configuration" seems helpful, if only I knew what it meant. The part about "<whatever>_module is already loaded, skipping" was listed in LEAP 42.3 as well. I could never find why apache would try to load the modules twice but it was not a deal breaker. Suggestions? $ systemctl start apache2.service Job for apache2.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. $ systemctl status apache2.service x apache2.service - The Apache Webserver Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: protocol) since Mon 2018-07-16 10:14:23 MST; 2min 36s ago Process: 13613 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/start_apache2 -DSYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 13613 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jul 16 10:14:23 sma-server3 start_apache2[13613]: [Mon Jul 16 10:14:23.519400 2018] [so:warn] [pid 13613] AH01574: module rewrite_m> .... a bunch more ...
