Apache webserver fails to start on Plesk: suEXEC mechanism enabled

Symptoms

Apache webserver fails to start:

CONFIG_TEXT: [notice] mod_hostinglimits: use Min UID 10000
[notice] mod_hostinglimits: use old style for LVE exit
[notice] mod_hostinglimits: version 1.0-23. LVE mechanism enabled
[notice] mod_hostinglimits: found apr extention version 3
[notice] mod_hostinglimits: apr_lve_environment_init_group_minuid check ok
[notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)

Cause

Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf is corrupted or misconfigured.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server via SSH.

2. Reinstall 'mod_ssl' package:

   # rm -f /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
   # yum reinstall mod_ssl -y

3. recreate configuration if nginx is used:

   # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/nginxmng -d
   # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/nginxmng -e

4. Start the Apache service

   # service httpd start (CentOS/RHEL/CL)
   # service apache2 start (Debian/Ubuntu)
