I have having issues with my Apache:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Cannot define multiple Listeners on the same IP:port
Action ‘configtest’ failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
Can you show us the contents of the file?
The error seems pretty clear. You have multiple Listen directives for the same IP:port. You should not.
Can you describe what changes you made on the UI that caused this issue? Or did you not make any?

well, i wiped the VPS, reinstalled from scratch Debian 12, installed Virtualmin with the common command line, logged in Virtualmin (with no other actions taken) and
AH00526: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Cannot define multiple Listeners on the same IP:port
Action ‘configtest’ failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
this is whats in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Can you show contents of /etc/apache2/ports.conf before installing Virtualmin?
This is odd, I just did a clean install on Debian 12 and didn’t have this error.
Did you fix this, removing duplicate Listen lines I would think would help fix the issue.
Hey @Jamie, do you recall when we were working on this issue a while back in my PR #1040, and I think I solved it, but something caused us to close that PR—do you think it might be related? 
Just to be clear, way too many people reported it recently.
@Jamie, okay, I remembered we’ve had this issue before. And, it was due to a bug in Virtualmin Config where Apache config files were edited incorrectly outside of the Apache Webmin module, causing cache corruption.
To fix this, @Joe needs to release an updated version of the Virtualmin Config package that is still compatible with Virtualmin 7 repos.
The original issue with broken Apache configs after installing Virtualmin 7.40.0 on Debian and Ubuntu is now resolved.
Anyone having trouble with it before, feel free to do a fresh install that will now work!
