I need some help. Im an amateur *nix user, playing around with things. I know enough to do the bare minimum of what I need to do, to host a telnt process.

I’m now branching out to try to add some simple web page hosting in my droplet, using an outside domain provider that I have a subdomain with, bjzbackup.custom-gaming.net

I followed the tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-7

I start out with the basic Apache default message, which is fine. But I’m trying to point the subdomain at the IP, and have the subdomain point to the appopriate directory.

I get to step 4 to create the virutal host. My virtual host is set up as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bjzbackup.custom-gaming.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/bjzbackup/public_html
ErrorLog /var/www/bjzbackup/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/bjzbackup/requests.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I received no errors in enabling the symbolic link in step 5.

When I restart apache, I get the following error:
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status httpd.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

When I look at the systemctl status, I get the following:
● httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server

Any help you guys can give would be appreciated. I don’t think the stuff from the journal is relevant, but I can post it if need-be.
