Enabling SSL

[LACMAIS]

Good morning.

using the latest version of Nagios as of today 4/28/2025.
I was following the instructions for enabling SSL with a certificate
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... s%20XI.pdf

After attempting to restart the httpd.service, I now get the following error:

Code: Select all

Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xeu httpd.service" for details.

When I enter

Code: Select all

systemctl status httpd.service

I receive:

Code: Select all
