I had a look at /var/log/httpd/error_log and found this: httpd: could not open error log file /var/www/bree.org.uk/error.log I rechecked and that file definitely exists and is writable by root (which httpd runs as). However a suspicion arose and I decided to turn off SElinux and reload. And it worked. Not only that, but certbot worked as well: # httpd -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS VirtualHost configuration: *:80 bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree.conf:1) *:443 is a NameVirtualHost default server bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree-le-ssl.conf:2) port 443 namevhost bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree-le-ssl.conf:2) port 443 namevhost bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:56) I'm well aware that you had mentioned SElinux earlier, and I had definitely done tests having turned it off, but clearly I missed something. I may have caused the problem by changing ownership of some files to apache:apache without considering their SElinux context. For the time being I'm keeping setenforce=0 until I can figure this out (suggestions are of course welcome). Effusive thanks to the multiple people who chipped in with ideas. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
