Question

Site does not load after upgrading to 18.04

Posted November 6, 2021 100 views
ApacheWordPressLet's EncryptUbuntu 18.04

I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and now when I visit the site, it says “ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED”.

Running WordPress

I thought it was maybe certbot, and tried renewing certs which gives the error 

The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: NoInstallationError('Cannot find Apache executable apache2ctl')

I tried visiting via IP address and it also says “ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED”

Your help would be appreciated.

Hi @MPA,

I think Cerbot crashed before it obtained the certificate for you.

You can fix that problem by also adding /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto –apache –apache-server-root /etc/httpd –apache-ctl apachectl. That will allow you to get a new certificate.

Hope helps you,

    But if the site already had a cert before upgrading, does it matter?

      The apache configuration is correct?

      apachectl configtest

      Are you checking the apache log for another mistake?

      Best regards,

        When I run it, this is what I get

        [Sat Nov 06 12:44:03.604889 2021] [so:warn] [pid 2288] AH01574: module php7_module is already loaded, skipping
apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/security2.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_security2.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_security2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

        I think I fixed it with 

        apt install libapache2-mod-security2 -y

        Now I just need to figure out how to fix
