I wanted to set up my own cloud which is accesible even outside my home network so I was following the nextcloud on raspberry pi setup by wiredzero however the problem is after generating the certificate, it’s not allowing me to restart the apache2 service.
I am getting:
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
Please help.
What is the error message?
sudo systemctl status apache2I’m getting this:
apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server

There is most likely another service already listening on the same ports as apache is trying to listen on. Most likely ports 80 and / or 443…
This should help you find the issue:
