Hi,
I am running an Apache server with CentOS 7 installed. I'm having issues
starting apache using the command* systemctl status httpd.service *as I
would get the following message:
*Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error
code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details.*
Here is the output of *systemctl status httpd*:
httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; enabled; vendor
preset: disabled)

Here is what I tried so far. I tried checking if any process is running on
port 443 using the command *netstat -an | grep 443*, but it showed nothing.
I tried checking the httpd.conf and ssl.conf files and see if there is
a *'Listen
443'* on both but there isn't. It is only in ssl.conf.
That's all I've tried so far but I'm open to any suggestions you may have.
