Apache server does not restart

Help! (Home for newbies)

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu Linux 20.04.5
Virtualmin version 7.2-1

Howdy

here it is the result from apachectl configtest:

  1. AH00526: Syntax error on line 83 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mydomain.com.conf:

  2. SSLCertificateKeyFile: file '/etc/ssl/virtualmin/1*************4/ssl.key' does not exist or is empty

I did not find any solution on the forum (or did I miss something?) for the point 1).

For the point 2) I used the command systemctl restart apache2.service but I received the following:

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Could someone assist with the restart of Apache server?

Help is very appreciated in advance, thank you.

My best regards.

there’s no point 1 + 2, just one point (=2). fix that and then restart apache.
SSLCertificateKeyFile for mydomain.com as message clearly states : seems missing or empty.
what does cat /etc/ssl/virtualmin/1*************4/ssl.key show?
look SSL Settings for this virtual server from Virtualmin, make sure its ok there, and retry.
