Having a weird problem after this latest rebuild.

No new sites or domains added are working.

Under Admin -> WebServer Settings -> Apache Re-Build, it's not showing 2.4.58, only the older 2.4.57

Rebuilt to the older version, and then also rebuilt in vhosts under Admin -> WebServer Settings -> WebServers Main Conf

Rebuilt again to 2.4.58, still no joy.

Any suggestions?

hi can you check the vhost is created or not after you rebuilt the webserver config ?

as the latest apache version doesn't interfere with it.

vhost is created correctly in /usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts/ with the right IP.

Tried deleting & recreating, still isn't seen.

[Sandeep B.]

you meant site is showing default page ? or there is any other error when you open the sites ? screenshots will be helpful 

[Starburst]

It must have been a ghost.

No error messages, other than Let's Encrypt saying the domain wasn't pointed to the IP or was .htaccess restricted, would just load to the first site in the user list using the shared IP.

Did an images restore, and updated Apache again, and all is working.

Very weird.
Never seen a problem like that in 5 years of running CWP.

Can I change the version to 2.4.59 in the script and use it as is ?

I tried this with latest version 2.4.59 and it worked flawlessly with no issues till now on 6 cwp servers. Keep up the good work!.
