Hi,
I am running an Apache server with CentOS 7 installed. I'm having issues starting apache using the command systemctl status httpd.service
as I would get the following message:
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Here is the output of systemctl status httpd:
httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server

Here is what I tried so far. I tried checking if any process is running on port 443 using the command
netstat -an | grep 443, but it showed nothing.
I tried checking the httpd.conf and ssl.conf files and see if there is a
'Listen 443' on both but there isn't. It is only in ssl.conf.
That's all I've tried so far but I'm open to any suggestions you may have.
