Hi!
I’m super new to managing my own VPN and stupidly changed my root password from the DigitalOcean “Access” panel without checking the possible ramifications. I’m now getting a “502 Bad Gateway” error on my website and can’t quite work out what is causing it. I’ve Googled in the hope I can try and figure this out on my own, but I have to throw in the towel and ask for help…
I checked the service status list and it seems that Apache2 has not been started, but even after trying to start it, it stays “inactive”.
Here are the last from the logs after trying to restart it:

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated!
