Hi @PaulSarda!
Take a look at this line of the log:
I’m guessing that
/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/example2.com.confis a symlink. If you run the following command:it should output some info about the file and show you what it’s pointing to if it is indeed a symlink. Make sure that the path is valid and is of a file that does exist. If it isn’t, you can just delete it and recreate it properly:
Job for httpd.service failed , after systemctl reload httpd, anyone can help?
