Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

as the error is on line 30 of the above file you need to fix that but I guess you don’t have rewrite enabled
use

a2enmod rewrite

to enable it & restart apache 
 as you effectively destroyed the apache configuration by your reinstall you are going to work through all the errors that popup 
 there is no ‘magic wand’ to fix it in this case

Done but php is not working

65

start a new thread as I said earlier you will get loads of errors unless you restore the domain from a backup. You did make a backup ?

backup of /home/user-directory backup I made

using the virtualmin backup utility or something else 
 if you didn’t use the virtualmin backup system you will not have all the configuration files you need 
 please start a new thread with this new issue
