I reinstalled Apache in my WordPress install without backing it up and now my site is not working

Hey friend,

Sounds like you’ve been busy and making a solid effort on this. Maybe I can help you look at it differently. At this point I think let’s break away from trying to make the configs match their original, and focus on the current state of it. What is currently happening that causes this to not work? Describe to me where the live result breaks from the desired result, and what that looks like from your perspective. Error messages, etc.

Focusing on the current state and moving forward from there will probably put us on the right path.

Hi @jarland thanks again!!

I just noticed this daily message when I SSH in: *** System restart required *** I’m not sure what’s this referring to but I restarted apache multiple times.

More importantly, when i do curl -I https://www.mydomain.com, it shows: curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.mydomain.com port 443: Connection refused

My previous setup was with let’s encrypt installed, and domain was set with www. If I try and run curl -I http://mydomain.com i get response HTTP/1.1 200 OK and when I go there it shows this text:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

I’m not sure if port 80 is closed but i ran the iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT and it didn’t return anything and nothing changed on the site after that.

I reinstalled Let’s Encrypt just in case, but nothing changed. Do you maybe have a reccomendation based on the above?

Thank you SO MUCH for the time and I hopefully your graphic card drivers are going to behave from now on :)

Thank you !
