Hello,
In this case, I would recommend the following:
- Run an Apache config test:
apachectl -t
- Check your error logs as well:
tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log
- You could also run the following for more details:
journalctl -xe
This would give you enough information for further troubleshooting.
